Why Stable Income Matters More Than Credit Score for Mortgage Approval π₯ FHA & VA Loans
Many people think a high credit score is the most important thing for getting approved for a mortgage. But in reality, stable income often matters more β especially for FHA and VA loans.
In this video, I explain why lenders care so much about income stability, employment history, and Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio β sometimes even more than your credit score.
You will learn:
β Why stable income is critical for mortgage approval
β How lenders evaluate DTI ratio vs credit score
β Common situations where good income can overcome lower credit
β What documents prove stable income
β Tips to strengthen your application even with a lower credit score
Whether you're applying for an FHA loan, VA loan, or conventional mortgage in Virginia, understanding this can make a big difference in getting approved.
Hi, Iβm Duane Buziak β Mortgage Maestro with NMLS #1110647. I help Virginia homeowners and first-time buyers get approved by focusing on what really matters to lenders.
If you're worried about your credit score or income situation, watch this video and then call me for a free consultation. Iβll review your numbers and show you realistic options.

Buying a home soon but don't know which loan type to pick? π€

We just put together a quick, no-nonsense comparison video to help you figure out exactly which loan will give you the lowest monthly payment. ππ
