There are basically three things we look at: Credit, Income, Assets.
Credit:
You must have a minimum credit score of 640
Typically they want you to have a 2 year work history, does not have to be on same job, and the house payment should not be more than 1/3 of your gross income. For example, if you make 2k gross a month, then your max house payment should be around $700-800 range.
As far assets, you typically don’t need a down payment, but it is always good to show at least 2 months reserves in the bank.
You will have to pay for an appraisal fee of $325, and home inspection of $400-350 typically, but this is usually the only out of pocket costs.
The seller can pay your closing costs, and it takes about 30 days to close a loan when you get a accepted offer.
If you don’t mind, go ahead and get the following things together and I will see what you how much qualify for on a home.
This is a free process, in case you were wondering.
The following is a list of documents that may be required to process your mortgage loan:
One full month’s worth of pay stubs
Last 2 years W-2’s
