Consulting a non-local mortgage company
It is a common mistake made by most of the homeowners that they approach a
non-local company.
You need to understand that real estate is local and a mortgage lender from
another state would not be able to ensure quality services in your state.
You are always advised to consult a local mortgage company to buy your
mortgage.

Not getting a mortgage pre-approval
There is a big difference between the mortgage pre-qualification and pre-approval,
but most of the homeowners do not know that difference.
Pre-approval for the mortgage secures the finances, which is not done through
pre-qualification.
It is because the pre-qualification is issued on the basis of the information that the
borrower provides to his lender but the pre-approval is only issued after reviewing
the credit score, tax returns, pay stubs and other financial information.

Not shopping around
Usually, the homeowners assume all the mortgage companies to be same and
they buy a loan from the lender they consult first.
Well, that is a big mistake you would be making. The interest rates and the
lender’s fee are not same in all the mortgage companies; also, the type of service
they provide varies from one lender to another.
So, you need to shop around, look out a few mortgage lenders, compare their
services and then choose a right one.

Putting nothing or a little down
There are some mortgage companies that allow you to purchase a home without
or with just a small amount of down payment.
Though it is a good idea if you are unable to put a large amount of money down, in
the case, there are other buyers who are offering the seller a big down payment,
most probably the seller is going to accept the offer with big down payment.

Adding too much debt
Another mistake you need to avoid is adding much debt after getting pre-approval
for the mortgage.
You are recommended not to make any other big purchase until you are done with
purchasing your
home; otherwise, it will mess up your debt-to-income ratio and would result in the
denial of your mortgage.
