Advice on what is appropriate when applying for loan
Hi, I want to know if anyone else has encountered this and want to make sure I handle the process right.
If you recently acquire a property that impacts your debt to income ratio but it has not hit your credit report yet, are you obligated to report this on new applications for credit during the same time frame (if these transactions take place within 1 or 2 weeks of each other)? I most surely don't want to commit fraud, however, want to secure the best rates and credit I can in an honorable fashion.
Thanks for your candid feedback and sharing your experiences.

It will show up eventually and then you'll look like an idiot explaining why its there now and why you didn't report it initially. Some lenders will check your credit more than once through the process.
