How do you actually close on a house without trying to sneak something by the big bad lender?

For some reason there’s this skeleton in everybody’s closet that they don’t want the lender to find out about. They think that if the lender finds out everything is going to fall apart, and they’re right.

But, there are certain things that need to be talked about or resolved, before closing on a house. Here’s the thing, one thing you have to remember is that if there’s an issue, we are going to find out.
There’s no sweeping stuff under the rug.

The way that you buy a house without lying to your lender is by telling the truth from day one.

By doing that (being completely transparent about all of your financial circumstances) it gives the lender the opportunity to work on a solution. Otherwise what happens is the lender finds out some other way.

By waiting, and not telling your lender you set yourself up for failure.

We’re all set up to then be scrambling to try to find a solution the day before closing.

Then the stress level goes through the roof. “what’s going to happen? Am I going to be homeless?”

When really this stuff could have been resolved a month ago (most of the time), and then the stress level isn’t as high.

Let’s just put all the pieces of the puzzle together at the same time, at the beginning, as soon as possible. If you know that there are any issues let’s get it in and figure it out.

We’re all about solutions. Let’s figure it out.

Solutions.
Resolutions.
Resolve.
Opportunity. 🙂

I don’t see an issue as “end of the world”. I see an issue as “hey, we’re going to learn something now, we’re going to figure something out.”
