Understanding Your Credit

Credit refers to the borrower’s demonstrated ability to meet their debt obligations. Lenders evaluate a borrower’s past experience with debt and their potential for handling debt in the future given the addition of a new mortgage payment. There are three major credit-reporting agencies: Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. You can receive a free copy of your credit report once a year from AnnualCreditReport.com, which gets the reports from each of the three companies. It is a good idea to get a copy annually so that you can check it for errors such as identity theft, incorrect social security numbers, accounts listed, or name misspellings.

A common way of understanding how credit will be evaluated is known as, “The Five Cs of Credit”:

Character

the reputation of the borrower in meeting their past debts expressed in a credit score from one of the three primary credit reporting agencies as well as the stability of their employment history.

 

Capacity

the ability of a borrower to repay a loan based on the computed ratio of income to recurring debts. A ratio of 28% of income obligated to recurring debt excepting the mortgage payment and 36% including the mortgage payment is considered standard, but each borrower’s situation is unique.

 

Capital 

the money paid into the purchase of a home by a borrower, commonly known as a down payment. Expected down payments vary by loan type, the method of securitization and the other specific characteristics of the borrower. Down payment requirements can be as little as 0% (Veterans Administration), 3-5% (Federal Housing Administration), or 20% or higher for most other loans. The higher the down payment that is made, the less likely a borrower will default on a loan.

 

Collateral 

the property or other assets that are pledged as security for the loan. Property values are determined through an appraisal conducted by an independent appraiser.

 

Conditions 

the interest rate and terms of the loan that impact a lender’s willingness to finance a loan.
