2. Home Loan
If you’re looking to purchase a new
home or refinance the existing home.
The first step is to find a lender who
approves or offers a home loan.
3. Lending Criteria
Usually, the lender will offer a home
loan based on your credit profile, debt
to income ratio, financial backup, job
history and salary.
Below are the top 5 reasons why
buyers or borrowers get turned down
for a mortgage.
5. Credit Profile (FICO Score)
Cash may act as a king in real estate, but a
good credit score or history plays a vital role
in the purchase of a new home or refinance
your existing home.
A FICO score of 720 shows the positive
financial history and a score below 680
could not be an unfavorable one, but may
lead to higher interest rates.
7. Financial Backup
If the borrower or buyer doesn’t have
enough funds to make larger down
payment (3.5% for FHA and 10%-20%
for most other banks), then most
banks and private money lenders
would not offer the loan as it becomes
quite risky.
9. Income
If the borrower doesn’t have proof of his/her
last two years income, despite of the good
credit score or better line of equity for their
home, obtaining a home loan would become
tougher.
This can be a huge barrier in the mortgage
process, especially for retired.
11. Unemployment
Today, most lenders are looking for at least
2 years of job security to offer a home loan.
However, it is not a definite guideline to
obtain a loan. If you change jobs instantly,
but with the same line of work, it won’t
create a problem, particularly if the job
change is only for higher income.
13. Debt To Income Ratio
When the borrower has a high debt to
income ratio exceeding the bank’s
guidelines it becomes tough to obtain
a home loan, because your debt to
income ratio is the direct evidence to
make repayment for the money you
want to borrow.
