FICO Scores only indicate you have held a reliable job and have been lucky enough not to get laid off.
I for one would put a lot more weight on what you do and what the chances something could go wrong there. In the past government jobs have been real meat and potatoes reliable incomes. Will they still be as reliable in 10 years? Software engineers have done well in the past. With off-shoring impacting the industry severely will these continue to be reliable jobs in the future etc…
The KEY is reliable income when it comes to credit. That AND savings. A person with several hundred thousand in cash is a lot less likely to default that one with $4000…
A lot of it is common sense, but ANYONE who carries high interest consumer debt I would assign a score of 400 regardless of if they have even been late and have the highest income…

March 5, 2011 at 8:38 PM #673573bearishgurlParticipant[quote=sdrealtor]Under your model, most would be 10 years into their careers before they could qualify to buy a home.
The reality is all your taxpaying minions are barely paying any taxes while these guys are writing checks to Uncle Sam in excess of $100,000 every year…[/quote]
First of all, I don’t have a “model.” I’m not in the lending business. However I WOULD like to see the government exit the lending business. They have mucked up the works so bad that it can never be fixed until they’re gone.
If your “professional’s” high-interest student loan debt is so “massive,” then why are they trying to buy homes while carrying it? If they didn’t try to buy homes, they could pay it off in less than a year, no?
Why should “We the People” CARE how long it takes for these “indebted” new professionals to purchase a home? Didn’t they make the choice to take on this “massive,” often government-backed debt while in college to stay in college in order to get an advanced degree while the minions and worker bees got out, went to work and began paying taxes? Why didn’t they think about the ramifications of this debt then, that is, what mortgaging their futures would do to their future plans to buy a home and raise a family?
I don’t feel sorry for any of these “professionals” OR their inability to save for a downpayment for a home on a “mid 6 figure income.”
I have counseled my children NOT to take out student loans and none of them ever have or will. I don’t believe in them.

GH, would you consider a borrower who is carrying $100K+ in a government-backed or private student loan at a rate of 6.5% to 8.5% to be carrying excessive “consumer debt” so as not to qualify for a real estate purchase money loan?
