Securing a mortgage pre-approval is an exciting step in the home-buying journey, providing a clearer picture of your budget and solidifying your status as a serious buyer. However, it's crucial to remember that pre-approval is not a guarantee. Your financial situation can change, and unforeseen issues with the property can arise.

Here are 5 common reasons pre-approvals fall apart:

1. Job Changes and Income Fluctuations: Any significant change in your employment status or income level can raise red flags for lenders.

2. Taking on New Debt: Accumulating new debt, such as car loans or credit card balances, can negatively impact your debt-to-income ratio and affect your eligibility for the mortgage.

3. Property-Related Issues: Even with pre-approval, lenders might hesitate if the property you choose has structural problems, environmental concerns, or other issues that could affect its value.

4. Credit Score Fluctuations: Your credit score is a critical factor in mortgage approval. Late payments or increased credit utilization can lower your score and jeopardize your pre-approval.

5. Changing Property Type: Switching from a single-family home to a condo with high maintenance fees or vice versa can significantly impact your borrowing power and require a reassessment.
