Home Purchase With Short-Term on Job
Posted by Kay Anne on September 4, 2024 at 1:14 amMy vantage scores are 699 and 703 but FICO is 645. I lost $1,000 after my landlord refused a reference last year. I also changed jobs for FT in a different industry. I had 2 years at last job and will be one year July for this position. Is there any hope? This is my last opportunity as I am 58. Looking at $40000-$60000 depending on my final pick.

Given your circumstances, it is possible to walk away from a home purchase simply. However, here are several concerns that need to be meticulously considered:
Fico Scores: Looking at your FICO score, which stands at 645, this preliminary applicant level is from the group members applying for FHA loans, which hitherto has always had a cut-off score 580 for those wishing to place 3.5 percent of the house price. You particularly have higher VantageScores, but the trend is that most lenders go for FICO for their financing, although FICO 2 is what most lenders use and is equally acceptable.
Job History: With reference to a homeowner, they sought consistent employment for roughly two years, while currently, that was just a tad over a year at this employer and two years at the previous job. They can still be eligible as long as they are able to demonstrate job continuity.
Affordability: Therefore, judging from your price range for homes of $40,000 – $60,000, there will not be any concern about affordability as long as the other out-of-loan conditions are met. Even the amount of loan requested appears to create some level of margin for the lenders.
Final Age Limit: They anticipate this, and the lenders have accepted it without considering it a constraint to seeking a mortgage. Old age is not an issue for the lenders, as they consider whether the borrower will repay.
Issues of Referencing: The justification of repo or landlord is inclusive and most often may not be a serious barrier to obtaining loans as long as the person’s credit or income meets the lender’s criteria.
Actions Recommended:
Solicit the Relevant Services of the Mortgage Lender: I wish to update you regarding employment, income, credit rating, and other relevant matters concerning this mortgage seeking. Consult a mortgage lender regarding their assessment of your expectations.
Consider the Option of Pre-Approval: Considerable rather than unbridled due concern for pre-approval will, however, enable you to gain a better appreciation of what should be sought in a mortgage, especially with regard to the maximum monetary provisions that you can easily attain.
Collect Relevant Documentation: Carry out the necessary documents required to ensure readiness to prepare all necessary documents for the mortgage loan application. Borrowers will also need to prepare for other financial matters such as earnings, jobs, and related factors.
Getting an FHA loan seems like one option you may want to consider. Engaging with a suitable lender will help you find your desired home.

Given your posted information, you have a good chance of getting pre-approved. It will come down to your DTI (Debt-to-Income ratio). I would suggest you do a free consultation with an experienced L.O. who knows the correct questions to ask before you fill out an application. Fill free to reach out if you have questions.

Agree Dustin Dumestre. By the way, I emailed Marga and called her. Ravinder’s birthday is today, and Ravinder and Sapna are off today. Let’s set this up first thing in the morning.
