You're Approved! (Sort of...)

You've filled out an enormous mortgage application, you've sent in your tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and you've answered all of the lender's questions in detail.  A week or so later you get the phone call you've been waiting for.  You're approved! 

There are still plenty of things that can turn that approval into a declined loan quickly.  We've seen the exact same mistakes made time and again, so we're sharing the top 7 ways that we see home buyers put their mortgage approval in jeopardy to help you avoid some of those potential pitfalls.
