First Mortage application

I applied with NFCU for a VA loan 30 year fixed. As a joint application for $230,000

My 'mortage' credit scores, according to myFico are
EX: 638
EQ: 649
TU: 681
Not a clue what my hubby has. Lol I assume he has the same if not better.

We make together about $150,000+ a year, only thing that worries me is that I have a lot of inquries. I just hope we get approved to get our own home finally in Las Vegas, Nv.

Re: First Mortage application

We have 49% utilization of credit. Which I know it's a no no. I had several medical bills I needed to pay after my heart surgery

Re: First Mortage application

...inquiries and utilization are components of your credit score and are not considered separately from it in the normal mortgage process ...meaning that they don't care if its 5 or 15 inquiries, nor if you have 40% utilization so long as your score meets their requirements ...if your score needs work, your LO may look at anything that could improve it

 

...that said, your uw will probably ask you to explain each inquiry and if it resulted in new credit ...new credit is a flag that will probably need an LOE

 

...they will look at your revolving accounts to determine what your minimum payments are ...this total is then added to any other debt payments on your CR to arrive at your back-end dtir ...so the uw probably won't care about utilization per se unless it kills your dtir ...assuming all other financial widgets are green of course.

 

...hope that doesn't confuse you more Smiley Wink

Re: First Mortage application

...if you applied together, they will have pulled both ...the lowest mid-score of the two CRs will be the one they work with ...good luck
