Both credit score and credit profile are considered in the qualification process. It is hard to pinpoint the guidelines because they are considered on a case by case basis, but here are the basics:
-3 years of credit history with 2 of those being installment credit
-Bankruptcies & Short sales need to be at least 4 years from completion with at least 2 years of new installment history with no lates.
-Minimum Score 620
It is best if you have no lates but as few as possible, we may ask for an explanation of recent late payments as a part of our prequalification interview. If there are any open collections/liens/judgements the lender will need them to be paid in full and see proof of the zero balance.
