is there a order on which they pull your credit on a usda home loan

The lender pulls a "Tri-merge" credit report upon your pre approval process.. this credit report is good for 90 days.. If it takes you 2 months to find a home and 45 days to close on a USDA loan, then the credit report will expire and will have to be re-pulled. Regardless, the lender will do another credit pull on the day of funding to be sure there were no changes to your debt to income ratio.. This why your lender tells you not to apply for credit until the loan closes.. If you go and buy a new car before you close on the mortgage, and your debt to income ratios go above what the lender allows, your loan will be denied in the final hour..
