Borrowers Without a Credit Score Get a Chance With MortgageDepot

It’s no secret that credit scores are a big part of qualifying for a mortgage in Pennsylvania. After all, lenders want to know that you are capable of making regular payments. A respectable credit score is a good indication that your mortgage payment won’t push you over the financial edge.

The truth is, not everyone has a credit score. Does that mean that these people shouldn’t experience the joys of home ownership? At MortgageDepot, we think that they should have a chance! That’s why we will consider a co-borrower with no credit score for an FHA loan.

There are plenty of good reasons why a person might lack a credit score, and these reasons shouldn’t stand in the way of their real estate goals. You might not have a credit score if:

• You are just beginning your “grown-up” life and haven’t had time to accumulate a credit score.
• You recently moved to the United States.
• You only use cash or debit to fund major purchases.
• You have taken a 24-month (or longer) hiatus from using credit.

Does a home loan that doesn’t require a credit score sound intriguing? Here are the eligibility requirements of this unique program offered by MortgageDepot:

• The primary borrower must have a credit score of at least 620.
• Manual underwrites are not available for borrowers who have a credit score of less than 620.
• Monthly housing payments can’t exceed 31% of gross monthly income.
• Total monthly debt payments can’t exceed 43% of gross monthly income.
• Borrowers must have one month of PITI reserves.
• Only single-family, primary residences are eligible.
• Only purchases or rate/term transactions are eligible.
• Automated Underwriting System (AUS) findings must be listed as approve/eligible or refer/eligible.
• The borrower must present one FHA compensating factor (MortgageDepot will guide you in this department).
