Credit Prep

Credit prep before your first pre-approval.

A calm checklist for buyers who want to be ready for the lender conversation without guessing.

Gather before you apply

Prepare pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, ID, housing history, debt list, estimated monthly comfort zone, and any assistance-program questions.

Avoid avoidable surprises

Do not open new credit, change jobs, move large unexplained deposits, or make big purchases without lender guidance once you start the pre-approval process.

Frequently asked questions

Should I wait until my credit is perfect?
Not necessarily. Talk with a lender before guessing. The goal is to identify real obstacles, not self-disqualify based on assumptions.
Can Rodney repair credit?
No. Rodney does not provide credit repair or lending advice; he helps buyers prepare questions and connect the real estate timeline to lender guidance.
