Pre-approval

Was pre-approved with my current card and went out and found a house and got a sales contract on it. The LO called last week and said that I should pay down some of my debt to get my score up. Does this make since? I already have a pre-approval, but now the LO is saying we need to pay some debt down to get my score up.

Re: Pre-approval

Just b/c you're preapproved doesnt mean you will pass underwriting. I am in a situation where I was pre-approved but once the docs went to the underwriter they took issue w/ some collections from 5+ year old mistakes.

Re: Pre-approval

What are your scores? Did your lender tell you the score they would like for you to get to?
