What Wells Fargo Looks for in a Borrower

You should have a credit score of at least 621. The higher your score, the larger the loan you can apply for and the lower your payments and interest will be. Your debt-to-income ratio is also important. To calculate yours, add up the total debt you owe each month (such as for credit cards, other loans, bills, and so forth) and divide that figure by your monthly income before taxes. Multiply the result by 100. The answer is your debt-to-income ratio. Wells Fargo wants to see a ratio of 50 or less. Thirty-five or less would be better.
