No Credit vs Bad Credit — What's the Difference?

What Lenders Look at Without a Credit History
When there is little to no credit history, specialty lenders focus heavily on:
- employment stability — how long you have been at your current job
- monthly income — most require $1,800–$2,200/month minimum
- banking history — 3–6 months of bank statements showing responsible money management
- and down payment — even $500 to $1,000 demonstrates commitment
