What to do?

Ok I have a 2002 Nissan Altima with 150K miles its paid for but needs a good but of work the engine needs a new timing chain and the cab has begun to leak. I am buying a house in June and was wondering if I should go ahead and take advantage of 0% finanicing and get a truck now? What are your thoughts MyFico.

Re: What to do?

How will the added payment affect your DTI ratio? This plays an important part of being qualified for a home.

I would still be able to get the loan based on My DTI.I just hate applying for credit so close together.

If it were me and there was any possible way that you could wait until after you got the mortgage, I would.

 

When I spoke to a LO at BoA last summer, just getting some estimates and feel for things, she said they wanted to see that I hadn't take on any new debt in the last 90 days(I think). However, this could have been because if my DTI, my credit, etc. Any number of reasons.

 

I wouldn't risk it, but you have to do what you have to do.

 

Possibly move the mortgage and do that sooner?
