Question to Debt Counselor re – Home Equity Mortgage Loans::

We are looking for a  Home Equity Mortgage Loan and live in Lorain , Ohio. My wife and I have been married for 3 years and we both have jobs that give us a combined income of $65,000. We have been at the same employers for the past 5 years as well and have good stable jobs.

As far as we know our credit rating is good, yet we cannot seemed to get pre-approved for a  Home Equity Mortgage Loan for a home we want to purchase. Can you help us understand what our problem is, since the loan managers will not give us any information.

Do you currently have a mortgage? :: No, we currently rent

Home/Mortgage Loan Amount :: $150,000

Other Loans, Including Credit Cards:: We have a zero balance on all of our credit cards. We have between us 10 different credit cards.

Are you employed and for how long:: yes, for 5 years

Your credit rating to be – excellent, fair, or bad? :: Excellent as far as we know

Gross Amount Per Paycheck :: $2500 every two weeks combined

Do you agree to have this information published online, without your PRIVATE information of course? :: yes

Extra information here please (some detail)::

We have applied to several different banks and they all come back with a declined decision. They have offered nothing to help us understand what the issue is or what we should do about it. We would like to be pre-approved for a 25 year mortgage so that we can make a firm offer on a home when we see one that interests us. We also only have $10,000 to put down as a down payment on a home we buy. Can you help us get approval or at least tell us what we need to do to improve our chances.
