Do I need good credit to get approved for a loan?
Our approval is based upon your credit history, credit scores, funds available, credit card(s) available balances, and the value of the property you want financed. We also look at the value of the property after it is repaired, the price you are paying for the property and the cost of repairs. We look for ways to finance your investment, not for ways to turn you down.
