If your loan officer is thorough and your file is strong to begin with, you should be good to go. Just don't do anything that will negatively impact your credit score in any way

Yep BamaGuy, I swear the buyer was commitment phobic! Naturally it blew the closing....
No doubt your LO was freaking out Lemmus...can you imagine getting everything all done for your borrower with a pretty bow on the loan package and now you can't close because of a refi that could wait until after closing??? I know you wouldn't do that, you get it. But you would be amazed at the number of buyers/borrowers that don't think it matters that much!

I'll let you know when I close!!!
...if that is your only CC balance, only pay it down to under 9% ...paying all your CCs to zero may actually LOWER your score ...don't try to rationalize it, its just the way credit scoring works
