How Does my Credit History Affect my Mortgage?
How does my credit history impact what I'm approved for? Your credit history is one of the most important factors in determining what you could be approved for. Your credit history impacts your interest rate, down payment options, amount of monthly PMI you will pay if you're not putting down 20%, loan programs you're eligible for, and how much you can borrow.
Your credit history is how banks decide how much of their money they will trust you with, and how much they're going to charge you to borrow it. It's basically like a report card for adults without the convenience of summer school to make up for a bad break. The better your credit history, the more options you have, and the more affordable those options will be.
If you have questions about your credit, give me a call anytime. Don Anfuso, your Mortgage Pro for Life.
