How I do it is through selective screening and I have been 100% successful.By instituting certain screening standards it will naturally eliminate the vast majority of non target applicants.For example young couples with children will generally have lower credit scores. 

The criteria when I applied and received mine was some of the same factors as though I was applying for a regular mortgage, DTI, credit score/report, W2, paychecks etc.

Our credit is good (my husbands is 'very good') but with money as tight as it is I don't want to open any new bills.
