Duane's NoTouch Credit Pull is a soft-pull pre-approval that shows real, program-specific numbers from TheLender's wholesale rate sheet without a hard inquiry on your credit.
Start My NoTouch Pre-ApprovalWorked Example
A borrower with a 700 credit score and 20% down on a $400,000 purchase priced through TheLender's wholesale conventional rate sheet. On a $320,000 loan at an illustrative 6.75% wholesale rate, principal and interest runs approximately $2,075/month — before taxes, insurance, or HOA.
APR and payment figures above are illustrative only, not a rate lock, quote, or offer — actual pricing depends on TheLender's live wholesale rate sheet, credit profile, loan amount, and program at time of application.
