When lenders look at your individual story, these things stand out most in the home loan decision-making process!
- No late payments within the past year
- You have multiple credit lines with at least 24 months of history
- With one of those credit lines having a limit over $1,000
- Be in the same line of work for two years
- Your total home and credit payments are about 40-45% of your monthly, pre-tax income
- Have at least 3.5% of your purchase price to put down (down payment will depend on which loan program you go through)
- You should have about 2-3 months of house payments available after closing
There can often be exceptions to these rules based on each person's credit story, but these are best practices to put you in a good position to get approved for a home loan.
