Key Factors in Qualifying for a Home Loan

Key factors that a lender would consider before approving a home loan would necessarily include the income stability of then person, the number of years the person has been employed, stability of the existing job, credit history and credit records of the person. Another important factor is how much money a person can arrange a down payment for the home loan. This essentially comes out of the person’s savings over the years.

The most important factor for a home loan will be the stability of income and the ability to pay the mortgage repayment installments. More the number of years a person has been on the existing job the more likely the loan would be approved. Usually the lenders would expect a person should have been gainfully employed during the last 2 years and should be so in the next 2 years. It is expected that the person should be able to pay a substantial amount from the monthly income towards the mortgage payment each month.

The other important factor is the credit report on the person applying for a home loan. The credit report details the credit history and credit records of the person. A good credit report means good chances of the home loan being approved. As for down payment, if a person can make a substantial amount, the lender need not have to take a mortgage insurance against defaults. The premium for this type of mortgage insurance is high and the person applying for the home loan has to pay this premium.

Though the key factors discussed above are very important, depending on the lender and the ability of the person applying for the home loan to negotiate with the lender, the home loan can be approved with not all factors in favor of the person applying for the home loan.
