Looking to buy home this year, around May. I'm sure but not 100% me and my wife will qualify for a loan. But is it a good idea for us to apply now with mortgage lenders to see if we do and if we don't what necessary steps we need to take to qualify.
Is it a good idea to apply now. I have a 707 credit scores and wife 620.
Thanks for any advice.
There are some really good threads here, and a lot of users should be able to answer you specifically. However, I highly recommend you begin speaking with lenders. You can give them your own credit scores and have them 'assume' those to tell you if you would pass automated underwriting. You have a 3 month window for credit inquiries related to a mortgage to be lumped together, so I wouldn't let anyone ding your credit just yet.
Go in and ask lots of questions. They will examine the specifics of your situation and give you an idea of what to expect. Good luck!
