I love her flow and open door energy, nothing like talking to people in any business that is so difficult and puts invisible wrenches in your way instead of unfolding things slowly and efficiently. I really like her.

[@JenniferBeeston]

Thank you!:)

[@CoralinaMarrero]

Can you know in advance the credit limit of a lender, so you will not waste time?

[@JenniferBeeston]

What do you mean by credit limit. Like the debt to income they will allow? Often it can vary based on credit and assets

I’m in the process of underwriting, have had my realtor negotiate closing costs into the loan and working on getting the full down payment prior to close. Praying the lender/underwriter approves me without having the down payment until closer to close.

Hi Jennifer this is Michael Bronson I am a v a marine veteran and I live in Florida at this point in time my question is to you if my wife has a self-employed business how can she establish or shall I say we are planning to move to Georgia next year early and I want to know will her income would be okay to have for a secondary income or do she have to register in Georgia in order for that to happen

I am so glad to hear you say that you don’t agree with everything Dave Ramsey says. For the longest we avoided credit until we needed a house. We had to practically increase our credit scores in order to qualify for a home since we don’t have $1 million sitting around in an account.

Question I can’t find an answer for - I am looking to close my credit card and I have no debt. I do not know how long it takes for a “no score” to show up on my CR. So my score will likely be low for sometime. But I am looking to buy a house in 2 years. Can I look at manual underwriting to obtain a loan or am I going to automatically be declined due to a “low” credit score? Recommendations?

[@JenniferBeeston]

Personally I would not close the card. I would just put a tank of gas on it and pay it off monthly. A high credit score saves you $$ when you are buying a home. Generally after 6 months your score goes away unless you had bad credit. We do loans with no credit scores but the rate is as if you had the lowest credit score

Hello i got a question my sister and i are trying to buy a house together using both incomes. So my sister in 2021 gross $22,526.71 and in 2022 she gross $22,485.91. And in 2021 i gross $17,899.08. And in 2022 i gross 19,041.43. With this income we only got approved for 185k idk if thats correct of not. My sister only got 1 credit card so her dti i think is super low. I got 3 credit cards. Her credit score is currently at 691 thats what credit karma says. My is currently at 640. Idk why we got approved for so low. Like there are is no confortable house for that amount. And we can also add my fathers income in which it is $1107 per month from his ssi and pension. but he’s disabled retired and he depends on the state benefits for health insurance and idk if is true but somebody told him that if the state find out that he has a house then they can stop providing him with the benefits. Idk if thats true or not and he depends on that. Thank you. 🙏

Its not ideal as we will have to track and explain the money and it could be considered a gift from her to you which is fine. I would keep the money in your account. No need to complicate things.

[@whitneypena3680]

My boyfriend applied for a loan they called him back told him he needed to pay some of the stuff on his credit off. That pretty much all they said and they said once he took care of that they will get him into the buying process. I don’t know why she said it wasn’t a pre approval or pre qualification she said take care credit first that’s all that was said.

[@whitneypena3680]

So basically they ran his credit right ? And he needs to have some debt paid off or down. Then he’s qualified or how does that work?

[@JenniferBeeston]

It’s sounds like his debt to income is too high right now but the loan officer should have explained in detail. I would call the lender back and clarify as yes they would have run credit to come up with that. If you want to chat about it 707-478-0637.

Do u get a high loan amount if your credit is a 700 rather that a 580 for a VA loan if ur debt to income is the same?

Depends on how the computer judges risk. In theory you could get the same loan amount. If you are pushing really high on debt to income you have a better chance at 700 then 580. Really anything under 600 is hard to get through from what I have seen
