Tips from Gulfside Mortgage Services 1062 E Venice Avenue, Venice FL 34285 NMLS #375972 1. Don't buy or lease an auto. Lenders look carefully at your debt-to-income ratio. A large payment such as a car lease or purchase can greatly impact those ratios and prevent you from qualifying for a home loan.  2. Don't move assets from one bank account to another. These transfers show up as new deposits and complicate the application process, as you must then disclose and document the source of funds for each new account. The lender can verify each account as it currently exists. You can consolidate your accounts later if you need to.  3. Don't change jobs. A new job may involve a probation period, which must be satisfied before income from the new job can be considered for qualifying purposes.  4. Don't buy new furniture or major appliances for your new home. If the new purchases increase the amount of debt you are responsible for on a monthly basis, there is the poss...

I just had a buyer close on a home 2 weeks ago. The house was beautiful. It was all newly renovated with kitchen, bath, flooring remodelled. They are having issues with their electrical that keeps tripping and have a plumbing leak. If you are buying a home newly renovated with all new appliances etc. you still want to purchase a HOME WARRANTY. I have a few Home warranty companies I can suggest. Another thing is to get the names of any and all contractors that did the work on the home and see if they back up their work so if you do have a problem you can call the guy that is familiar with the home and what was done. If you haven't purchased yet New Construction may be the way to go. It is often cheaper to build than repair. If you would like to consider this option I can refer you to some lenders and take you to see some model homes.

Recently a neighbor had their whole front lawn tore up from these guys. It seems the best way to deter these guys from tearing up the lawn is to have a sprinkler system with a motion sensor.
