Click Here To See If You Qualify
1. Figure Out How Much You Qualify For Before You Start Seriously Shopping
The amount you qualify for is determined by several factors. The first is your gross income. If you are a W-2 employee these are your pre-tax earnings. You will be able to find this on your most recent pay stub or on your W-2’s. If you are self employed, or own a business along with your W-2 income, you need to have your tax returns carefully analyzed to determine how much of your income can be used to qualify. The next step is to determine your current monthly expenses. These include car payments, credit cards, installment loans and possibly student loans if they aren’t deferred. Your credit report is used to determine the correct balances and payments. Expenses that don’t appear on your credit report such as insurance, cell phones and utilities are not included in your monthly expenses. Your down payment is the next consideration for qualifying. The larger the down payment the more you qualify for.The final thing on this simplified guide is interest rate. The lower the rate the more buying power you have available. We will always do everything possible to make sure you get the very best qualified interest rate! Below you will find a link to a few tools that might help you get a head start.
