What You Need to Qualify for a Home Loan
Every loan program has different requirements. Here’s what lenders typically look at when evaluating your application.
Credit Score
Most conventional loans require a minimum score of 620, while FHA loans accept scores as low as 580. The higher your score, the better your interest rate will be.
Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)
Lenders prefer a DTI below 43%. This means your total monthly debt payments — including your new mortgage — shouldn't exceed 43% of your gross monthly income.
Down Payment
Depending on the loan type, you may need anywhere from 0% (VA, USDA) to 3–20% (conventional). A larger down payment reduces your monthly payment and eliminates PMI.
Employment & Income History
Most lenders require at least 2 years of steady employment history. Self-employed borrowers may need to provide two years of tax returns and business documentation.
