    After being approved will they always pull your report again before closing , and if so do they pull all 3 again or just one?Thanks for your input!

    ALL 3...

    My real estate agent said DON'T buy ANYTHING until you have the keys in your hand...
    ...even over using checkbook and credit cards that won't be billed...

    JUST BE CAREFUL...

    The OLD SCHOOL was if you don't need it...CLOSE IT!!! (BEFORE F.I.C.O.)
    I closed like $50,000 of 15%+++

    They can re-pull your credit, and many do.

    I didn't go FHA, I did conventional through my credit union. They had the option of re-checking my credit, but they didn't.

    But I would be good and not take any chances if I were you.

    I have a close friend who works for a mortgage lender. She advised me that the lenders will almost always pull a new credit report just before closing. Many will also do a public records search to look chiefly for judgements or tax liens, even if these don't appear on your credit profile, if they are unpaid, they can hinder your final closing.

    ...They even wanted to know why I didn't have a savings account...BECAUSE THEY RIPPED ME OFF FOR EXCESSIVE TRANSFERS!!!

    I deposited my paycheck in the savings account and transferred as needed to the checking...
