Let’s be sure to focus on the next steps in case you have any concerns with payment being filed as ‘late.’ It is a good start that we consistently received payments as well as paid off the collections, but here is what you may need to do to address any previous late payments:
Request Goodwill Adjustments: If you have been consistently paying on time since 1st January 2007, contact the creditors and discuss the possibility of a goodwill adjustment. This is a request to delete old late payments made on your record. Some creditors may be willing to do so if the payment history is quite strong.
Dispute Any Inaccurate Late Payments: Understanding that you have any errors present in your credit reports is important. Suppose there are late payments that need to reflect your financial discipline accurately. In that case, you must file a dispute with credit bureaus. When texting your creditor inaccuracies in the report, correcting these misrepresentations can assist you in getting an improved score.
Establish a Mix of Credit Accounts: If you have only one or two forms of credit (for instance, only a credit card and a mortgage), consider widening your accounts. Adding a secured loan or a credit builder loan can increase your credit mix, which will benefit your score as time passes.
Maintain a Low Credit Utilization Ratio: If you use credit cards, ensure your utilization ratio is below 30% or around because lower credit usage will help raise your score. A goal of 10% or less is even better.
Consider Becoming A Co-Borrower: If you can find a relative or a close friend with a good credit card score, ask that person if you could use one of her accounts as an authorized user. This move can help raise your score if the main account holder maintains a good credit history.
Make these changes to your habits in addition to these tips. You will qualify for better rates and terms on a mortgage. Do get in touch with me if you require more specific ideas!

With your credit score of 705, you are in a good place. However, the high DTI ratio means lenders will likely see it as a riskier loan. To increase your chances of being able to obtain the loan, consider the following suggestions:
Research FHA Loans: FHA loans are known for their high DTI ratio allowances, sometimes reaching 57% or higher, specifically for borrowers with great credit. It can also be a great option for you as an aspiring first-time homebuyer.
Investigate Options for DTI Improvement: If possible, consider settling some high-interest debts, such as credit cards or personal loans. Cutting your debt, even by a small margin, can help you achieve a better DTI ratio, increasing your chances of getting better terms on the loan.
Consider Non-QM Loans: Non-QM loans are taken out by borrowers who may be deemed unique borrowers. Some with higher DTI and other specific loan criteria can make them even more appealing. And yes, the interest rates are a notch higher but with fewer restrictions — lenders willing to exchange risk for more remuneration offer such loans. On the other hand, some may still be more attractive, depending on your ante.
Check Multiple Lenders: Certain lenders will have different DTI restraints, especially for first-time home buyers. Contact various lenders and find out who offers the best terms for your circumstances.
Seek Assistance Programs: Several assistance programs are available to first-time home buyers. These programs offer better terms, help with closing costs, or lower interest rates, which overall help make homeownership more realistic.
