☀️ WINS-DAY Buyer FAQ: "What credit score do I need to qualify for a mortgage"?

Mortgage requirements can vary depending on:
• Loan program
• Lender
• Down payment
• Debt-to-income ratio
• Income and employment
• Overall credit profile
And your credit score doesn't just affect whether you qualify—it can also affect your interest rate, payment and loan options.
That means someone with less-than-perfect credit shouldn't automatically assume they can't buy.

☀️ Sunshine Tip: Talk with a qualified lender before trying to “fix” everything yourself. You may be closer than you think—or they can give you a specific plan for getting mortgage-ready.

Want a lender connection? Message me “CREDIT.”
