What to fix (2)

FICO score qualifies for prime interest rates (740+)

Major

Lenders apply mandatory Loan-Level Price Adjustments (LLPAs); scores below 740 face higher interest rates that offset refinancing savings.

Fix: Raise your score to 740+ by reducing reported card balances to near zero and avoiding new hard credit inquiries for 6 months.

At least 2 years of continuous self-employment or business operations

Major

SBA guidelines (SOP 50 10) and Fannie Mae underwriting mandate 2 full tax years of documented earnings stability in the same line of business.

Fix: Assemble 2 full consecutive years of filed tax returns (1040s with Schedule C or corporate W-2s) showing continuous revenue.
