If you have a large amount down and/or other payment histories such as rent or utilities. If you don't have all the above your going to find it very hard going.

Hi jas,

Welcome to forums.

You have good employment history no doubt. But have you been paying for the credit card debts so far? you don't have a credit history it seems. Then I think you can opt for FHA loans. However, you may qualify for conventional loans with lenders who accept alternative credit scores. Check out some details on alternative credit scores .

And just in case you'd like to see what George has advised, here's the page: http://www.mortgagefit.com/homeloan/nocreditscore.html .

Thanks

I would try and get a secured credit card or something to show payment history to the credit bureaus. It will be very difficult to get approved at this time. Waiting a year or two while establishing credit would be my best advice.
