Probability of qualifying for a home loan?

Hello,

 

I'm trying to assess my chances of securing a home loan. My scores are currently the following according to MyFico: EQ:560 TU: 605 EX: 580. I just recently paid off all of my debt, so my scores won’t reflect that quite yet. I've been employted with the same company for 9 years and in the same field for 19. I have no auto loans and about $14,000 in savings. In addition to that, I have approximately $65,000 to put down towards my home purchase. I’m looking at a home that is priced at $319,000.

 

Would my overall scenario be enough to qualify or would I still need to work on raising my scores? I mean that's a given any way (continue to raise my score) What would I likley be looking at? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
Danny

Re: Probability of qualifying for a home loan?

Most FHA lenders will require at least a 620 middle score at application. A 640 score will put you in a much better position. With a 20% downpayment, your chances are very good.

Assuming you're scores will bounce closer to 640, your capital reserves, down payment cash, and your excellent job history...it sounds like you'll be approved no problem.
