There is a belief out there that you need spotless credit to buy a house. It is one of the most common reasons people never make the call, and it keeps good buyers renting for years longer than they need to.
Here is why people believe it. Credit is the piece of the process everyone has heard of, so it becomes the whole story in their head. Lenders look at more than that one thing.
I would rather look at your actual situation and tell you where you stand than have you guess. If you have been putting off asking because you assume the answer, ask anyway.
