STOP!
Before You Apply for a Mortgage, Read This.π‘
Most people find out too late.
POP students learn it before they apply.
βοΈMYTH:
βItβs all about my credit score.β
β
οΈ TRUTH:
Lenders review your complete financial profile.
Your credit mattersβbut so do your income, debt, savings and ability to afford the payment.
β
οΈ YOUR DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO MATTERS.
Your DTI compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income.
It helps lenders determine whether you can reasonably handle another monthly payment.
β
οΈ YOUR INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT HISTORY MATTER.
Lenders generally review your recent income and employment history to determine whether your income is stable and likely to continue.
Requirements can vary depending on the borrower and loan program.
β
οΈ YOUR MORTGAGE SCORE MAY BE DIFFERENT.
The score displayed by a consumer credit app may not be the same score used by a mortgage lender.
Know your complete credit profile before you apply.
β
οΈ YOUR SAVINGS MATTER TOO.
Homeownership comes with more than a mortgage payment.
You may need money for closing costs, repairs, maintenance and unexpected emergencies.
