Chance for Mortgage Approval
Hello everyone,
Planning to start shopping for my first property in February 2020 and I had a question about lender/mortgage approvals.
Long story short, I took out personal loan of $7,000 in July to cover some unforeseen expenses.
Will a lender see this amount (roughy $6,200 by February) and only allow me to use what I’ve saved up less $6,200?
So instead of $30k they’ll only allow $23.8k?
Thanks for your help.
