Q:            What if my credit isn’t perfect.  Will that automatically disqualify me?
A:            Not necessarily. We are not generally looking for “perfect” credit.  Everyone’s situation is different.  It will depend on what is on your credit report, how old it is, what your current financial situation is now and what the rest of your application looks like.
