The Journey of Dustin and His Family Buying a Home
When I first met Dustin, he was in his mid-20s, recently married, with a stepdaughter and his first child on the way. Living in his in-laws' home, he was eager to find a place of his own.
Dustin had no credit history, no credit score, and his wife had very little, which made securing a mortgage challenging.
They initially chose a lender with stringent requirements that didn't accept "Non-Traditional Credit" or applications with "No Credit Score."๐
Following their loan officer's advice, they traded in their two paid-off cars for a new one to build credit history. ๐ฑ
A month later, they found out that their new car payment was too high, and they still didnโt have a sufficient credit score to qualify for a mortgage. ๐ก
Disheartened, Dustin was ready to give up and rent, which might have turned them into lifelong renters.๐ฅ
Fortunately, they found Jonathan Spurr at Inspired Life Mortgage, LLC. ๐
We stepped in to help Dustin secure an FHA loan.
๐We used:
๐ฌnontraditional credit
โฌ๏ธcompensating factors to expand their debt-to-income ratio
โ๏ธconvinced the underwriter that Dustin's overtime income was stable, providing additional income to qualify with
๐ and closed their loan in just 25 days.
But Dustin's story didn't end there. ๐
Two years later, with a growing family and a new job with a promotion, Dustin's financial situation improved. ๐
Their home had appreciated by over $50,000. ๐ฒ
We approved them for a new home loan with a great rate on a 30-year mortgage, allowing them to move into their dream home with ample space for their family.๐๐๐
Today, four years after I met Dustin, he has over $100,000 in equity in his property. ๐๐๐
At Inspired Life Mortgage, we make homeownership a reality every day. ๐
Be like Dustin and don't take "NO" for an answer.๐ซ
Join us in congratulating Dustin and his family on their success!๐
