What is a Home Loan? Everything You Need to Know About Home Loans

Are you in the market to buy a new home? But do you feel it is a little too heavy on your pockets? Well, there is a way you can buy a new abode without financing the entire purchase by yourself. Housing loanshave now made it incredibly easy to own the house of your dreams. Wondering how? Here's everything you need to know.

What is a home loan?

Ahousing loan, also known as a mortgage, is a sum of money borrowed for buying, constructing, or repairing a house. It is made available at a specific rate of interest which has to be paid along with the principal amount as EMI. Moreover, the property in question can be commercial or personal in nature.

Factors affecting housing loan eligibility

1. CIBIL score

CIBIL or credit score is typically used to determine your creditworthiness. A lender can get a proper understanding of your repayment capacity and offer you an appropriate interest rate. If you've got a low score, you'll naturally have lower loan eligibility and vice versa. So, make sure you have a credit score of 750 or above. 

2. Debt-to-income ratio

If your debt is eating up a chunk of your monthly income, you'll automatically become a high-risk borrower. Having a low debt-to-income ratio, on the other hand, will increase your chances of obtaining the loan. It can also help you get a lower rate of interest.

3. Employment

A steady source of income and a secure job can convince the lender of your loan repayment capacity. Your loan eligibility willalso depend upon your monthly income. The higher the income, the higher are the chances of loan approval. 

Now that you know all about home loans,you can approach a financial institution confidently!
