Buying a Phoenix home may take planning…
When buying a Phoenix home nowadays it takes more than the ability to fog a mirror <wink> as in the old days of the No Income Verification and No-Doc loans. It’s not as simple (especially now) to qualify when buying a Phoenix home. This is a good thing, as we sure don’t want a repeat of the mess we’re in now. Or maybe, you disagree and are miffed about it being more stringent to get a loan when buying a Phoenix home. Either way, leave a comment, I’m curious what everyone thinks about this.
It is important to understand when you think of credit that you think of credit ‘history’. Lenders want to know you have established and used your credit wisely. The history of your credit for the past twelve months or longer in some scenarios will come into play when trying to buying a Phoenix home and qualifying for a Phoenix home loan.
No credit=no qualify when buying a Phoenix home
No credit means no credit ‘history’. As mentioned before this is something that will affect how or if you qualify for a home loan. Keep in mind there are ways to boost your credit score and/or establish credit in a responsible way that will be addressed during this 11 Steps to Buying a Phoenix Home Series.
Start saving now if you are planning on buying a Phoenix home within the next 12 months.
If you already know you qualify… Congratulations! You can stay tuned for future posts in this 11 Steps to Buying a Phoenix Home Series that more closely relate to where you are personally at in the home buying process.
If you are not sure if you qualify or already know you do not qualify these next few posts will be just for you! Hopefully, you will qualify within the next 12 months or less to meet your home buying goal and we look forward to helping educate you on the process.
*Please keep in mind this series in not intended to give you financial or credit advice and you should contact a qualified financial and/or credit specialist to further investigate ways to help you establish or build your credit. We have great referrals for you that can guide you on how NOT to make the common mistakes many would be buyers make every single day.
Looking forward to your comments on this 11 Steps to buying a Phoenix home Series!! I’m curious, do you think we should still have less stringent loans (i.e. NIV, No-Doc, etc.) available when buying a Phoenix home?
