Bad Credit Mortgage Loans - Are You Killing Your Chances Of Getting Approved?
By: Carrie Reeder iSnare Expert Author
When you have poor credit, your list of lenders that will approve you for a home
loan can shrink down very small. You want to make sure that you are doing
everything in your power to keep your credit rating as high as you can.
Many people will unknowingly hurt their chances of getting approved and make it
more difficult for themselves. Here are 3 things you will want to avoid doing if
your credit history is already bad.
1. Don't have your credit pulled over and over by different lenders - Many
people will, because of their difficulty in getting approved, apply with many
different brokers and have the broker pull their credit over and over. Every
time your credit is pulled, your score will drop just a few points. In some
situations, it can be enough to disqualify you from the loan. The best way to go
is to apply with companies online that will give you a pre-approval without
pulling your credit, but instead, ask you what your credit is like.
2. Don't Open Too Many New Credit Accounts - If a lender sees that you have a
lot of new accounts open it can make them wary to want to lend you money. It can
also raise your debt to income ratio, which will make it difficult, if not
impossible, to get approved.
3. Don't Be Late On Your Current Payments - Some people feel that since their
credit score is already poor, it doesn't make any difference whether or not they
make their payments on time now. That is not the case, your credit score
improves a little, everytime you make your monthly payments on time.
