Your credit profile is one part of your homebuying plan. Adam can review it alongside income, debts and available cash to help identify loan options and useful next steps.
Check Reports Before Shopping
Review your credit reports for unfamiliar accounts, incorrect balances or payment history. Dispute errors through the proper channels and give the process time. A consumer score from an app may differ from the model used for mortgage lending.
Understand What Changes Affordability
Credit-card minimum payments and other monthly obligations enter the debt-to-income calculation. Ask Adam how paying down a balance could affect your payment and credit profile while keeping funds available for closing and reserves.
- Keep payments current.
- Avoid opening new accounts or financing furniture or a car during the purchase.
- Ask for program-specific options based on your actual credit report.
