7 Easy Memorial Day Loan Hacks to Know Now
This Memorial Day, while others are grilling burgers and soaking up the sun, you could be getting one step closer to homeownership. Take advantage of the holiday momentum with these 7 Easy Memorial Day Loan Hacks to Know Now that will save you time, energy, and stress.
1. Keep Your Credit in Heroic Shape
Think of your credit score as your financial uniform. Keep it polished and ready.
- Aim for:
- Excellent: 750+
- Good: 700–749
- Fair: 650–699
- Poor: 600–640
- Keep credit card balances under 40%
- Maintain at least 3 open and active credit accounts
2. Pay Rent Like a Pro
If you’re renting, pay by check! Lenders love a paper trail. Showing 12 months of documented rent payments can make all the difference when it’s time for underwriting.
3. Be Battle-Ready with Employment Docs
Gather two years of W-2s, full tax returns, and 30 days of recent pay stubs. Got employment gaps? Don’t worry, just be prepared to explain them honestly and clearly.
4. Keep Bank Activity Clean and Clear
Lenders will analyze every line. Avoid large deposits or withdrawals that can’t be traced. Make sure all funds used toward your transaction, whether it’s your down payment or closing costs, are well-documented.
5. Down Payment Strategy = Mission Critical
Know what you’ll need upfront. Some loan programs (like VA or first-time buyer loans) offer reduced down payments, but always plan for closing costs and have backup funds if possible.
6. Get Pre-Approved – Fast
Pre-approval is your green light in a competitive market. At Valor Lending Group, we offer same-day pre-approvals so you can house-hunt with confidence this Memorial Day weekend and beyond.
7. Team Up with a Local Real Estate Expert
A knowledgeable local agent is your secret weapon. They’ll help you find the right property, negotiate like a pro, and move fast when it counts.
