6. You believe everything the internet says

Banks and big brokers use internet advertisements and fake ratings to sell their services. Every day, hundreds of people sign up for bad deals and lose huge amounts of money, all because of believing the wrong information. Check everything twice, take a look at relevant forums, and consult your financial advisor before making the final decision.

Mortgage is not a thing to hurry up about. It is better to take your time to compare terms and conditions, or look for a good broker or bank. You can save up to 20% of your money over the next few years if only you start checking information on mortgage carefully.
