Bad Credit Loan Mortgage
They Filed For Bankruptcy And They Still Qualify For A Mortgage?
By Michael E. Hart, Fri Dec 9th
For most people, the idea of going from renter to homeowner seems out of reach for one main reason: poor credit history. Many feel that because of their past credit problems, they have no chance of qualifying for a mortgage to own a home. In recent years however, many lenders have made it easier for those with "not so perfect" credit to qualify for a mortgage.
"In fact, even having a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is no longer the deal breaker it once was" says Michael Hart, a senior loan advisor with Anderson Lending Group in Peachtree City, Ga. "Lending guidelines have relaxed considerably over the last couple of years to the point where it's now easier to qualify for a loan than ever before".
The three main factors of most concern to lenders are: credit score, job history and income. Your credit score is the main determining factor. The higher your score, the more options you'll have with any lender. Secondly, if you have fairly stable employment and income, chances are you'll qualify for a homeloan. And if your credit score is high enough, even with a past bankruptcy, you may well qualify for a 100% loan with somelenders.
"The secret is in knowing where to go and how to shop for a mortgage. And you have to be careful, with loans being so easy to obtain today, it's easy to get yourself in a situation where you're overextended. A good mortgage broker should be able to help you determine what's best for you based on your own personal circumstances."
Keep in mind the fact that lenders will

Husbands ex-wife killing us with debts/ defaults/ mortgage
Hi and thanks,
I will try to be as brief as possible. My husband and I are in quite a mess. His ex-wife agreed in the final divorce agreement to pay on a vehicle that she has since defaulted on, refinance the mortgage in her name solely, ( zero attempt), pay off IRS (2K) and growing ,plus multiple credit cards.
She has now put us in debt over 20K. Husbands ex-wife refuses to make payments and/ or set-up agreements to payoff said debts that she is legally bound to comply with.

Closed Loan!!!
I was just surfing and found this chain of comments. I closed a loan with Adam Ellis at Eagle Nationwide Mortgage just a few days ago. The service was very professional and we closed exactly how I was informed we would. I have refinanced a few times now and this is the first time that the loan details I was quoted in the beginning were the same at the closing table. A couple friends of mine redid their mortgages recently and my pricing is much better! I am very pleased and would recomend their A...

Can we say the co-borrower is living with us even if she is not?
My husband and I will not qualify for a permanent loan (he's self employed and started another company just 1 year ago) unless we say my mom will be living with us (she's our co-borrower). Can we say that she's living with us in order to qualify, even if she may only be there part-time?
Mortgage Foreclosure
I just received a nasty letter in the mail from Bank of America (the servicer on a Freddie Mac mortgage), because for a few days (while it took the bank time to process the payment) we were just over 120 + days past due. Today we are 99 days past due, but we can make a payment to bring us to only 68 days past due.
We live in Washington state, any idea if they will still proceed with a foreclosure?
Seniors to get depleted social security checks
Government may soon pass a new law which could result in depleted social security checks for senior citizens and disabled who've defaulted on their home loans or other debts. Earlier, social security payments could not be garnished to recover debts that are delinquent for more than ten years.
However, the 2008 Farm Bill lifted the 10 year statute of limitations on the ability of the government to withhold social security benefits in collecting debts ot...
charge higher rates on loans to those with "past credit issues" to offset the higher risk associated with making the loan. It's up to you as the borrower to determine if the potential advantages outweigh the higher cost involved. A new loan can provide the opportunity to re-establish yourself as a "good" credit risk by making "timely"payments. Other positive aspects to consider are the tax benefits of home ownership and the possibility that the home may appreciate in value.
"Most everyone wants the security of owning their own home, and now that opportunity is available to more people than ever before." says Hart. " You just have to make sure you're being realistic in what you can afford. Talk to a mortgage broker to see if and what you qualify for. Then be sure to use your head, not just your heart, in your search for that new home!"
