Here's what you'll need to qualify for a home loan: 

  • Employment history: Minimum two years of work history in the same field to validate a stable and consistent income stream
  • Credit history: Minimum two years' credit history to validate you're able to manage debt over a long period of time
  • Credit score: Minimum score requirement of 700
  • Down payment: To lock in the best rate and terms, you’ll need 20% of the purchase price as a down payment; however, there are loans available as low as 3% down, and sometimes gifts from relatives are allowed for some of the down payment. 

*Your actual close date depends on the seller’s timeline (for purchases) and other factors.
