Knowing what lenders evaluate can help you prepare and increase your chances of receiving an offer.

Main Factors Lenders Consider

1. Credit History

Lenders look at:

• Payment history
  
• Credit score
  
• Credit usage
  
• Account history
  

Good credit improves your chances, but it’s not the only factor.

2. Income & Employment

Lenders need to see:

• Stable income
  
• Employment consistency
  
• Ability to repay monthly payments
  

3. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)

Lower DTI = better chances of approval.
DTI compares what you earn vs. what you owe.

4. Loan Purpose

Different lenders allow different purposes:

• Debt consolidation
  
• Emergency
  
• Medical
  
• Home improvement
  
• Moving
  
• Wedding
  

State restrictions also apply.
