Preparing for Your Mortgage Application

Our credit repair process goes well beyond credit bureau disputes. We will address every aspect of your credit that can affect your ability to qualify for mortgage financing.

 

Home Ownership 10 Step Checklist

Complete these steps prior to being pre-approved.

620 - 640 Credit Score*

Clean Credit Crew goal is at least 680 or higher credit score for FHA. With a 700 credit score , you may qualify for a conventional loan which can lower your down payment and interest rate towards the mortgage loan.

Tax Statements

Last 2 years of filed taxes and W-2's.

Down Payment

Bank account reflecting the down payment in your account balance for 3 - 6 month time frame (down payments can vary). The better your credit scores and profile the lower your down payment will be. 3% - 5% is the standard down payment percentage.

Employment

Employed for at least 2 years with current employer (may vary depending on lender).

Providing Verifiable Income

The verifiable income that you provide must support the home you want to purchase. The annual verifiable income that is provided must be 1/3 of the purchase price of the home that you want to buy.

DTI

Debt-to-income ratio (DTI) should not be higher than 25%. high credit scores and strong credit profiles may allow you to have a higher DTI and still qualify for the mortgage loan. Pay down all your credit cards to a $0 balance to help decrease your DTI

Liens or Judgements

Check your state court records for liens or judgements against you. Depending on the title company you are using will determine what court ordered debts need to be satisfied to proceed with the mortgage financing process.

Pull Credit

Your credit will be ran twice when applying for a mortgage loan. Your credit will be ran in the beginning when you are pre-approved and at closing. During this time, please do not apply for anything as doing so may lower your credit score.

Earnest Money

Have funds set aside for earnest money. Earnest money is money given to the seller proving that you are indeed serious about purchasing the home. Earnest money varies and is determined by the home seller.

The Role of Timing

When it comes to credit repair timing is very important, and your timeline will affect the specific recommendations that we offer. Certain credit rebuilding strategies, as important as they are, may not be suitable for you if your time-frame is too short. We will make sure to provide time-appropriate guidance that will work for you.
