July 11, 2010 · Posted in Qualify For Loans
We payed off almost all of our credit card debt but now we need a personal loan to pay off student loans and do some repairs on our house. We would like to buy another home soon so we will be applying for a mortgage. Will getting this personal loan affect our ability to qualify for a mortgage for our new home? Our credit scores are excellent right now. We need professional advice. Thanks.

Additional Information
If you have excellent credit now then applying for a personal loan will not affect your score enough to change what you qualify for.
If you have had a lot of inquiries recently for things like credit cards or car loans, then that can negatively affect your credit.
You can pull a free copy of your credit report from Annualcreditreports.com. You don’t have to sign up for anything. It’s completely free. No need to pay for your credit scores as it really doesn’t matter. If you see low balances on cards and no derogatory accounts then your can assume you score is fine.
My daughter had this situation. They were advised to get the mortgage first, then apply for the loan.
Any hard inquiry will lower your score, but not by much.
Any debt will affect the amount you can qualify for.
Yes, it will hurt your score.
Your score will be impacted by the mere fact that you apply for the loan.
If after borrowing the money and paying off the student debt your total debt is greater than it was before, that will have a negative impact on your score.
If the student loans are a problem consolidate them and stretch out the payment terms. Don’t waste money fixing up the house you are getting ready to move out of that would be senseless. In most cases people spend more fixing up a house they are planning on selling than they get back for the increase in the sale price of the house compared to just selling as is. Remember, someone buying a used house will always have things they want to change and the odds of you changing something just like the buyer would have are about zero.
The lender looks at your debt to income ratio. The loan will count towards your debt. If you are taking out a large loan to pay off your student loans and to fix up the house, it can have an affect on your credit.
Avoiding a mortgage as best as I can. I like to have the flexibility of being without debt.

Part of the calculation of credit scores takes into account what type of loan you have taken out. It might be minor but taking a loan from a bank impacts less than a payday loan. Finance companies come somewhere in between. A minor red flag goes up when a payday loan is taken out – but again many don’t do credit checks.
