Buying a home in 2026? 🏡
What you do BEFORE you start house hunting can matter just as much as the house you choose.
🚫 Don’t finance a new car
🚫 Don’t switch jobs without talking to your lender
🚫 Don’t start moving large amounts of money around
🚫 Don’t apply for random new credit
🚫 And please don’t wait until you find the perfect house to get preapproved
The better move? Protect your income, credit, cash and financing options BEFORE you shop.
A 10-minute conversation early in the process can prevent a very expensive mistake later.
Thinking about buying? DM me before you start making financial moves.
