580 credit can get you DENIED š«for an apartment⦠but that same 580 could get you APPROVED ā
for an FHA loan. Crazy to think about.𤯠As a property manager too I see it all the time.
Now before anybody comes for me šā¦ Iām not a lender, and Iām not saying everyone with a 580 will qualify for a mortgage. Approval depends on things like your income, debt, savings, and the lenderās guidelines.
But isnāt it ironic?
Iām a landlord and Realtor Iāve seen how some apartment communities will deny you because of your credit, while a lender may be able to help you become a homeowner.
Thatās why I tell people all the time⦠stop guessing. TRY!
You might be wasting money applying for apartments when buying could actually be an option.
Or you might be trying to buy when renting is the smarter move for right now.
Either way, letās figure it out before you start spending money. šÆ
Iām not here to sell you a dream. Iām here to keep it real.
As a REALTORĀ®, I help buyers and renters understand their options, connect with the right professionals, and avoid wasting
time and money chasing the wrong path.
If youāre wondering whether you should rent or buy, letās talk. š”
