This is correct. A credit score is supposed to measure how well you handle credit. Not assets. Not even debt, precisely. It's credit, which is what you are able to borrow in addition to what you have borrowed (debt).

I agree, but Manual Underwriting and eCredable can be good alternatives for obtaining a mortgage without a credit score.
