Lenders closely examine the applicant’s credit score to gauge their creditworthiness. A higher credit score generally improves the chances of loan approval and may result in better terms.

The applicant’s income and employment history are crucial. Lenders want to ensure that borrowers have a stable and sufficient income to cover the loan payments.

Debt-to-income ratio is another critical factor. Lenders compare the applicant’s total monthly debt payments to their gross monthly income to assess their ability to manage additional debt.

The down payment amount plays a significant role. A larger down payment can reduce the loan amount needed and may also make the borrower more attractive to lenders.

Lenders also evaluate the property being purchased. They consider its value, condition, and location to ensure it meets their lending criteria and provides adequate security for the loan.

A detailed financial history, including savings and investment accounts, may be reviewed to understand the applicant’s overall financial health and stability.
