Minimum Requirements to Qualify for Doorly

Overview

Doorly is designed to help creditworthy, hardworking buyers who may not fit traditional lending rules. Our underwriting evaluates your real ability to repay, not just a narrow credit profile.

Here are the baseline requirements to qualify.


Minimum Requirements

1. Down Payment: At least 10%

You must have a minimum of 10% of the home price available as your down payment.
Funds may come from:

  • Checking/savings

  • Gift funds

  • Retirement accounts

  • Investment accounts

Doorly does not accept down payment assistance programs.


2. Minimum Credit Score: 560+

Doorly accepts buyers with credit scores as low as 560, which is 60-100 points lower than most traditional or Non-QM lenders.

Your score helps determine pricing, but approval is based on the overall strength of your profile.


3. Income That Supports the Payment

We verify your actual earning power — including flexible income sources other lenders may not use.
(See Article 2 in this collection for full details.)


4. Buying in an Eligible State

Doorly is currently available in:

  • Texas

  • Florida

22 additional states launch in 2026, with national expansion in 2027.


5. Ability to Repay (ATR) Requirements

All approvals follow Doorly’s formal underwriting guidelines, which include:

  • Income verification

  • Cash-to-close verification

  • Reasonable debt-to-income thresholds

  • Reserve requirements (when applicable)
