Credit Score – A credit score around 660 is generally required, but some of our lenders allow for lower scores. Lender-specific criteria and the borrower’s unique financial situation may offer flexibility.

Down payment – We have down payment options as low as 5% for borrowers that qualify. Income and assets will need to support the lower down payment requirement.

Income & Debt-to-Income Ratios – Most lenders generally require a debt-to-income ratio of 43 percent or less. Documentation such as W2 forms and recent paystubs or tax returns will be required to verify income. This is necessary to prove that you have the income and reserves necessary to cover your mortgage payments.  We also have Bank Statement Only programs, Asset Only programs, and other income options available.

Property Appraisal – The property being purchased will need to support the purchase price and the mortgage being applied for.

Documentation outlining proof of income, liquid assets, non-liquid assets, and any other loans that you may hold will be required so be prepared to provide this information. Lenders require this information to show that you have the ability to repay the loan you are applying for. Missing documentation can delay the approval process so the more information you can gather ahead of time, the smoother the process will be.
