In-house and BHPH lenders in Dallas–Fort Worth read your income first. These are the situations they see most.
Score in the 400s or 500s
Standard for this market. Your income and down payment set the vehicle you qualify for, not the score.
No credit file at all
First-time buyers go through the same way. Bring proof of income and a Texas address.
Repossession on your record
A repo from more than a year ago rarely blocks approval. A recent one can raise the down payment.
Bankruptcy
A discharged Chapter 7 is fine. An open Chapter 13 needs a trustee letter allowing the loan.
Gig, 1099, or cash income
Accepted with documentation: bank statements, a 1099, or a deposit history that shows the pattern.
