Bad Credit Home Financing - Get The Mortgage Loan You Want Even With Poor
Credit
By: Carrie Reeder
Having poor credit alone cannot hold you back from getting the home loan you
want. Buying a home that is everything you want in a home, is a very exciting
experience. The blemishes on your credit history will not alone keep you from
getting the home you want and the home you deserve.
Here are some things to keep in mind when moving forward in the application
process to get your home loan:
Contact or apply to many different lenders or brokers – Online you can fill out
many mortgage applications where the lender or mortgage service company does not
pull your credit history. If they don't ask for your social security number,
they usually cannot pull your credit. Brokers usually use the initial
application or inquiry form and what you tell them about your credit to make a
decision about whether they should pursue the application and pull your credit
or not. Many lenders will tell you that you are not going to get approved
anywhere and that if they can’t help you, no one can. That is not true. All
mortgage brokers have access to very different mortgage programs and some
brokers are more creative in their financing techniques than others.
Fill out your application or inquiry as accurately as possible – Inflating your
income on your application or inquiry form, to be higher than you know you can
verify your income to be, will only delay the process of getting pre-approved.
The broker will work the fastest for you if he/she is working with the exact
information he/she needs to be able to verify. That’s the best way to get
approved and through the pre-approval process smoothly.
Be persistent – This is the key when seeking a mortgage loan pre-approval with
poor credit, be optimistic. Look for creative ways to get financing and contact
as many brokers as possible. There is one or more out there that can help you.
The key is to find them.
Start house hunting - Sometimes the key to getting into a house is finding the
right one and a seller that is flexible enough to help you do some creative
financing work. For example: the seller carrying back a small percentage of the
loan, the seller paying your closing costs or you being able to purchase the
house for significantly lower than market value.
