I am in the process of looking to buy my 1st home. My scores are 786/796/814. I have no car payment, $70 in payments in other payments, make $50,000 a year, have been at my job for 5 years, and lived in the same residence for 4 years. The only problem I have is I don't have much for a down payment. I am looking at a house for $215, 000 with my wife, but her credit is not good, so I would like to do it alone. Will I qualify for that loan, and how much will closing cost be approx.? How does 401k figure inot it (I have $35,000). I was just trying to get an idea before I go sit down with a mortgage person!
Thanks for your help!
