3. Buying a home is a large
transaction for both the
homebuyer and the lender.
4. Before a lender is going to
approve a mortgage loan, the
lender will need certain
assurances that the borrower
is a good risk for the bank.
5. The factors that are included
in this determination are the
borrower’s income, the cost of
the home, the borrower’s DTI
(debt-to-income ratio) and the
borrower’s credit scores.
6. The borrower’s credit scores
actually determine more than
just the borrower’s ability to
be approved for the loan.
7. Here is some information on
how important credits scores
are for a mortgage.
9. Your credit score is a three-digit
number that is determined by
five different factors, and each
of them plays a certain role in
what your final credit score
will be.
10. This is how well you pay
your bills on time.
PAYMENT HISTORY – 35%
11. This is how many debts
you currently have and
the amount of credit
utilized in comparison to
available credit.
CURRENT DEBTS – 30%
12. This is how long you’ve
had the credit accounts.
CREDIT HISTORY – 15%
NEW CREDIT – 10%
This is any new credit
accounts you’ve recently
obtained.

you have (mortgage,
consumer loans, credit
cards, etc.)
Types of credit – 10%
15. Credit scores play an
important role in determining
if you’re approved for a
mortgage loan.
16. They tell the lender more
than anything else how you
pay your debts and how you
handle finances currently and
in the past.
17. The number one thing that
poor credit scores can affect
is your ability to be approved
for a loan.
18. However, even with low
credit scores, you may still be
approved for a loan.
19. What the low credit scores will
do is affect the interest rate
you’ll be charged.The better
your credit scores, the lower
your interest rates will be.
21. Credit scores play an important
role with mortgage loans and
an applicant’s ability to be
approved for a mortgage loan.
22. When you visit a lender to
apply for a mortgage, the first
thing the lender does after
having you fill out an
application is checking your
credit scores.
23. The scores on your credit
report, probably more than
anything else, will determine if
you’re approved for the loan.
24. In some cases, an individual
may be approved for a
mortgage loan even with low
scores if there have been
changes in the debts or certain
circumstances have changed.
25. However, in most cases, the
credit scores are the important
determining factor in if a
homebuyer is approved or
denied a mortgage loan.
27. It’s very important that you
take advantage of the free
credit report you can get each
year. Even if you think you
know your credit, there may be
a mistake on the report.
28. It’s better to find the error and
have it fixed before you see a
lender rather than later.
29. Errors can happen for different
names. Individuals who are Jr.
and Sr. may have their debts
listed on the wrong account.
30. If there is a numerical error
in your social security
number or account number,
that can also result in an
inaccurate credit score.
31. You may have a debt listed
as unpaid when it’s actually
been paid. If you see an
error, you can contract the
credit reporting agency and
report the error.
32. Get another of your credit
report in a month or two to
ensure the error has been
fixed.

goes through, explaining the
process and helping you
overcome any obstacles.
