FICO 5, 4, 2 is 610, 569, and 599. We have 4-year-old unpaid COs (job loss, very sick child). Pre-approved with different lenders from $173k (low end) to $225k (high end). the single borrower makes $45k, has a car payment of $370, and has low credit card limits with under 5% util. Excellent VOR and flawless payment history from the past 24 months and on. I made an offer on a house and was accepted for $190k, but I am now curious about other lenders. We’ll need manual underwriting, won’t we? Can GCA FORUMS Mortgage Group do manual underwriting? Are they a direct lender? Can they help us make this dream a reality?
