Step 1: Know Your Credit Score
You need to know all 3 of your Mortgage FICO Scores. Lenders look at the middle mortgage score to qualify you for a home loan. You can access you Mortgage FICO Scores in two ways: You can either apply for a home loan and this will give your mortgage scores with a hard inquiry OR you can visit MyFICO.com and get your scores and a credit analysis if necessary.
Step 2: If your score is above 580, you may put in an application for a home loan to see if you can get preapproved. If your score is below 580, you need to work on your credit to bring it above 580 and should request a credit analysis and once you have completed the steps and have above a 580 score, then you may apply for a home loan.
Step 3: After you have applied and received a pre-approval letter, contact a Real Estate Agent, if you don’t already have one and start looking for homes. I can assist you in finding an honest, communicative agent.
Step 4: Find a Home, Make an Offer, Get Offer Accepted, Go Under Contract, Start the Loan Process, Close!!!
