| What's Need to Qualify for Financing | ||||
| Lenders use several criteria to qualify an applicant for home or financing financing. The most important criteria include: | ||||
| 1) the home/or auto appraisal: the appraisal is the value of the asset (home or auto) that is being financed. You can borrow up to the appraised value of the home or auto. |
||||
|
||||
| 2) your credit rating: your credit report is used by banks and other lending institutions to determine your credit worthiness. The report can be a factor in a lending institution's decision to approve or decline your application. You should review your credit report for any errors before applying for a loan. |
||||
|
||||
| 3) your capacity to repay (income ratios): lenders analyze two ratios when qualifying the applicant for financing - the "housing ratio" and the "debt-to-income" ratio. If these ratios are too high, you may not qualify for financing. |
||||
|
||||
| 4) your employment: lenders like to see applicants in good, steady employment. Lenders will verify your income with your employer or your filed tax statements. |
