APPLYING FOR NEW CREDIT
Your credit score could change which may impact your interest rate. Additionally, new debt may lower the amount for which you qualify.

Even paying off credit card debt or closing an account can hurt your score. Also lowering your cash reserves can impact your personal re-approval.

CO-SIGNING LOANS
Co-Signing Loans is considered a debt for both signers. 

IGNORING LENDER REQUESTS
If your lender requests action or documents, you should complete those as soon as possible.
