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

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?
Can I use a Quit Claim Deed to escape this mess?
I was placed on a Joint Tennancy Deed to do a refinance and buy out the other two individuals that were originally on the deed. The whole thing fell apart while I was deployed and I'm still on the title. I was never placed on the mortgage for the home. The home is really cheap at about 38k left but now has 13k of back owed payments and taxes and is going to be auctioned. The house is in very poor conditions and needs major repair work if not completely rebuit. I really hate loosing out on t...
What is a "Short Pay"
I have been trying to refi for cash out. I have been told that the value in the home isn't there and I can only borrow up to 85% of the value. Hard to say the value, but an elderly couple recently sold on my block for 350K which killed any possible refi. However, now I may even be upsidedown. We owe 488k and paid 521k 2yrs ago.
Someone called me and offered to try to do a andquot;Short Payandquot; option which is different than a short sale or a modification. The goal is hopefully neg. w/ ...

Does anyone know if Eagle Nationwide will give you a mortgage with low credit score?
1st time home buyer tax credit
I and my boyfriend bought a house together and I couldn't be qualified to be on the mortgage because I'm still in school. However, we added my name to the deed and the mortgage payments are coming out of my account. Do I qualify for the tax credit?
Michigan bankruptcy and mortgage
Hi, we have filed ch. 7.
1) we are NOT behind in any mortage payments
2) we have been advised to NOT reaffirtm since the house is $54k top heavy due to falling values.
Question:
It is my understanding that the bank CANNOT just toss us out, they would however be forced to foreclose IF I stop paying payments.
IS this correct? I am asking because if the mortgage is BK'd would, IF we stopped paying later, have to fol...
deficiency jusgement
My lender is palnning to file a deficiency judgement on my foreclosed home. Can the lender take money from my personal bank account for the deficiency owed? How can I avoid the lender coming after my cash assetts?
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!"
