I was pre-approved with a mortgage (672 Mid mortgage score) and placed an offer that was accepted on a house with a closing date of 05/02/2016!
What should I expect now? I'm freaking out! I have a dismissed bankruptcy from 2012, a state tax lien (to be paid prior to close) and one minor collection account that I have no intention of paying. I have perfect payment history over the last 12 months but many inquiries as I worked to rebuild my credit (I have close to 20 on each report with 5-10 for a car purchase and re-finance).
How valuable is a pre-approval (Quicken Loans)? Am I still at a high risk for being denied at the end? Am I freaking myself out for no reason?
I am well under on DTI and have significant reserves. Is credit the biggest factor in home ownership or do DTI and job security play major roles?
Thanks for your help to soothe my stress levels!!
