Home Buying & Credit: What Lenders May Review
Learn about common mortgage review factors and how to organize your information before speaking with a lender.
Credit Is One Part of Underwriting
Lenders may review scores, report history, income, employment, assets, debts, reserves, property details, and the requested loan program. Practices vary, and published guidelines can change.
Questions to Prepare
- Which reports and score models will be used?
- How is debt-to-income calculated for this program?
- Which funds, reserves, and documents must be verified?
- How do rate, points, fees, and mortgage insurance affect total cost?
Review reports early enough to document possible inaccuracies, but do not assume a correction, score, approval, or rate by a particular date.
