You’re short on money for down payment, but you have an extra car in the garage that you don’t need. You sell the car to your friend for cash and deposit the funds into your bank account. You get a phone call from Steve Sheldon, your loan originator at Superior Mortgage Services and he tells you that the funds can’t be used for funds to close. After picking yourself up off the floor Steve explains because you haven’t documented the sale of the car properly.

Make sure to document the sale properly
1 – You must first make a copy of the title to the vehicle
2 – Create a Bill of Sale in which all parties sign
