Mortgage 101 ✨
Let’s talk about what lenders actually look for in your bank statements.
When you apply for a home loan, they’re not judging your coffee runs — they’re looking for patterns.
Here’s what matters most:
✔️ Consistent income deposits
✔️ Stable account balances
✔️ No large unexplained deposits
✔️ No overdrafts or negative balances
✔️ Responsible spending habits
Large cash deposits? They’ll ask where it came from Venmo transfers? They may need clarification. Sudden big purchases? Timing matters.
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s stability.
If you’re thinking about buying on Cape Cod this year, let’s make sure your finances are positioned the right way before you apply.
Preparation = confidence at the closing table.
