A lot of people think once they hand over their paperwork to a lender, their job is done. It's not.
Closing a deal is teamwork. Your job doesn't stop at the documents.
Here's what to watch for:
👉 Did the terms change from what you agreed to at the start?
👉 Does anything in the closing docs look different?
👉 Did anyone warn you about changes, or did they surprise you at the table?
**Four steps to stay on top of it:**
1. 1️⃣ Make a Google Drive folder for your Chris Deal
2. 2️⃣ Save your term sheet
3. 3️⃣ Ask along the way: "Are the terms still the same?"
4. 4️⃣ Read your closing docs before you sign
A borrower of mine signed for an adjustable rate loan WITHOUT KNOWING IT until they were sitting at the title company on closing day.
We caught it and fixed it in time, but that's not always how it goes.
Four steps, maybe 10 minutes total.
And most investors skip all of them.
Don't. be. that. investor.
