If you are considering buying a home in Huntsville Alabama, more than likely, you will need a home loan to pay for that home. And since you will be asking for a great deal of money and embarking on the probably one of the largest financial investments you will make in your lifetime, you should be aware of any factors that might affect your Huntsville Alabama home loan approval.  

Your Huntsville Alabama Credit Report

Your credit report is one of the most important factors to consider when seeking a mortgage so it’s a good idea to obtain a copy of your credit report from each of the three main credit bureaus, including: TransUnion , Experian  and Equifax.

Your FICO score, developed by Fair Isaac & Company, is widely accepted by lenders that determines eligibility as well as specific amounts, rates and terms that can be offered for a Huntsville Alabama home loan approval.  A FICO Score considers both positive and negative information in your credit report. Late payments will lower your FICO Score, but establishing or re-establishing a good track record of making payments on time will raise your score.

How a FICO Score Breaks Down

FICO scores range from 300-850.  The higher your FICO score, the less risk involved in lending to you and there are approximately 30 factors that influence your credit rating. Some of these factors, such as your payment history, weigh more heavily on eligibility than others. 

Every factor’s importance varies from person to person and can change individually as your credit history lengthens.  Your credit score can also change daily as new credit is established or credit is paid down/off.

In most cases, each of the 3 main credit bureaus will have different information on file, so make sure there are no discrepancies or errors that could be detrimental.  It is estimated that 40% of credit reports do contain errors, and if you are one of those people, your Huntsville Alabama home loan approval could be in jeopardy through no fault of your own.
