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...]

new to a quitclaim deed
Hello, My husband has property and a mobile home in his name. At this current time, his step dad is living there. We would like to start renting the property out.

Also my husband has two minor siblings on the deed as well. Is there anyway to get them off? If not, what does this mean for them when ...
Pay Option Arm due to adjust after 5 years
I have a Pay Option Arm. It adjusts every year. It is set to adjust again this year and we will no longer have any "options" to make the minimum payment, interest only, etc. We were told this loan should be refinanced withing 5 years, But , the home is way underwater and we can't sell and the bank won't modify. The question is-- will this be the last time they adjust the loan? Maybe a better question is--Once they do adjust this-- will will be locked in for the life of the loan? We m...

80/20 GA Purchase, 1st modified, 2nd charged off, what now?
I purchased home using an 80/20 combo loan and never refinanced the loans so both remain purchase mortgages (to my knowledge non-recourse loans). The 1st mortgage and 2nd mortgage were with the same company all along until my 1st was modified. The company agreed to modify my 2nd at the same time but lost the paperwork and only modified my 1st mortgage. Then the company closed and the 2nd was charged off and sold to Greentree. Now GT is harrassing me and threatening lien with wage garnishment. My...

Quit Claim Title back to the Lender?
House was surrendered to lender in Bankruptcy (California). Over a year and bank still has not started foreclosure. House is vacant for over a year, I'm several hundred miles away from that town now. I am still getting insurance, taxes & code enforcement notices. How do I get my name off the Title? Will a quit-claim (back to the lender) do the trick?

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!"
