So you’ve decided to buy a home. Congratulations – you’ve completed the first step to buying! But… now what?

Going through the mortgage process involves a lot of questions that can sometimes seem invasive… and yet, some of us share the intimate details of our lives across social media through our online presence with strangers all across the Internet. Guess where a lender might learn more about you?

No doubt about it, applying for a mortgage can be a long and involved process that can leave you feeling drained and financially exposed. But it’s in your best interest to be transparent with your finances during this part of the home buying journey, particularly if you have issues that might hinder your loan approval. There are a number of credit issues that may affect your application for a mortgage loan; however, most of the challenges can be overcome.
