Down payment:
You’ll need a down payment ranging from 5-30%
of the new house purchase price. |
 |
On-time payments:
If you’ve had a mortgage in the recent past
or are currently paying a mortgage, your payments
must have been on time—or not more than 30
days late—for at least 12 months. |
 |
Employment, not income:
Though you need not verify income, you should be
able to prove employment in the same job or occupation
for two years. |
 |
Compared with the average:
Your affordability will be based on your stated
income and that income should be in line—and
will be compared— with the average income
of others working in your occupation or employment
field. |
