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 [This article related to Bad Credit Loan Mortgage continues below...]

2007 Mortgage forgiveness debt relief act
My home was foreclosed on 06/07/2007. The first mortgage was paid off in full by the foreclosure, but nothing went to the second mortgage. Now the second mortgage company is harassing me, and there is no way I can settle this $150,000 debt with my $40,000/yr income. If they charge-off the account, is it forgivable under the 2007 Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act? Right now they are threating to take me to court (this is the first call I have received from them)-- is there any chance t...

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!"
