- 5Can I buy a luxury item before closing on a house?Making large discretionary purchases before closing a home loan can negatively impact your credit score, alter your debt-to-income ratio, and force lenders to re-qualify your mortgage. These financial dips and underwriting changes can significantly delay the homebuying process or cause you to lose your financing entirely.
- 4Are 0% interest financing plans actually a trap?Deferred interest promotions hit you with all the accrued interest from day one if you fail to pay off the entire balance before the promo period ends. Lenders rely on this structure, alongside potential penalties for falling behind on payments, to catch borrowers unaware if they miss the payoff deadline.
- 3Can I leave the country with an underwater mortgage and unpaid debt?Selling an underwater home or car before moving abroad means taking a financial loss because the sale price won't cover the remaining loan balance. Leaving with these unpaid debts leaves people facing unresolved financial liabilities and uncertainty about the long-term consequences.
