Rent To Own Application Congratulations on taking a step down the Path of Homeownership. Knowing that you can qualify for a mortgage loan at the end of your lease option period will give you peace of mind. There are several factors that are important to consider. An expert will look at the following aspects of your household and evaluate your ability to qualify for a loan today, and sometime into the future. - Income - Do you make enough money to make your mortgage payments and pay your other obligations?
- Assets - Do you have enough reserves to close on a mortgage and meet lender requirements? How will rent credits improve your cash reserves?
- Credit Score- This defines what loan program you can qualify for with your current score, and what credit repair solutions are needed to improve it for the future.
- Employment - Do you have a stable employment history?
- Residency - How long do you stay in one place before moving on?
Your Credit Score Once we know your credit score we can use the following chart below, as a guideline, to understand your qualifications from a credit perspective today, and what needs to be improved or repaired during the lease option term. - 600 and up - 100% financing is available.
- 580 to 599 - 95% financing is available.
- 550 to 579 - 90% financing is available. The owner may carry a 10% second private mortgage to allow 100% financing in lieu of you putting down 10%.
- 500 to 549 - 75% financing is available.
- Below 500 - financing is not available. Work with a reputable credit repair company to improve your credit.
The above scores are primary guidelines and will determine your loan eligibility based on credit. Credit alone will not be enough however. It is important to have a professional review your entire financial situation, and evaluate your current and future mortgage ability on all the factors - income, assets, credit, employment and residency. Only a professional knows if items like outstanding collections, judgments, bankruptcies, tax liens or other credit items will affect your overall short and long-term ability to qualify.
