    Income is a massive part of how they determine if you can repay the loan. I personally have an exceptionally high credit score and about double my home’s value in investments. Because of my low reported income, it was a total pain getting a loan.

      income is not a massive part of how you can repay the loan. Income can fluctuate over a 10-20 year period. I’ve had the opposite, I have a good credit score, good spending habits and was able to show that although my income is average I can accommodate the mortgage payments. If you made 90k but had a bad credit score and spent wastefully you would get denied for someone on 55k who has a good credit sore and lives within their means, has savings etc.

        Debt to income ratio. Saying income isn’t a massive part of loans is just wrong.

          Saying it is a massive part of loans is wrong. If you had 150k a year income and your expenses were 150k a year you would never get approved. Income is one thing they look at but i wouldnt say its a massive part of the equation.
