The real estate market gets a boost but some couples looking to buy a home have struggled to close on the deal because they were expecting a baby.
What's the real deal? Do pregnant women need to hide their baby bump before heading to the bank?
We know that mortgage lenders are taking a much more critical look at before they'll just give you a loan.
But now there's word some banks are giving expectant couples a hard time.
Why? Because if you take maternity or paternity leave and it's unpaid that alters your income.
Or if you decide not to return to work after having the baby that would have a huge impact on your finances and that makes banks nervous.
Discrimination attorney Edith Pearce and Jeff Ruben from Array Financial Group explain this complicated issue.
