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

Seller carry back
Hello there
I live in England but my husbanc and I have a condo in AZ, USA which we are selling. A potential purchaser wants to use Seller carry back. I have done some research into this (we have nothing like this in the UK) and understand the process but can find nothing to answer the following question:
We have no mortgage on the property so I take it that the buyer would pay us direct. However, if he makes a down payment but then defaults on the other payments to us, what happens the...
Foreclosure
I had a Chapter 7 bankruptcy which was discharged in May 09. None of the banks who own my properties have completed the foreclosure process on the houses. I am worried that they will delay the foreclosures to keep the home off their balance books. Not a big deal except that I've heard that the city can still fine me for not upkeeping the places since my name would still be on the deeds. Should I attempt a Deed in Lieu to hurry the process along or will this hurt me with taxes or in some other wa...
80/20 Loans
Hello~
Are lenders still allowing 80/20 loans to avoid a down payment?? My husband and I have had our condo on the market for over a year and we want to lower our asking price, but if we do then we won't have a down payment for our next house. We were approved for an FHA loan and we're planning on just having the 3 1/2% down. That's what we based our current asking price on.
Thanks so much

We had to move and still own a home that we are renting out and we want to buy a primary residence
We moved across the country, because we found a different job. The old job wasn't working out.
We are trying to save 20% down on a primary residence here because it will be cheaper than renting.
We still, however, own a home in the previous state. We are renting it out at a big loss. We lose over $1100 per month, because rent in that area is so low. Our house is also underwater by about $150k. Our mortgage payment is $2300 and we get $1200 in rent. We owe $327k and it's worth less th...

Dating
I own a home and boyfriend, who is separated (not legally, yet), owns a home with his wife who still resides there. We want to live together and both need the interest write-off. What's our best option? For us to rent/sell our places and put it toward buying or renting a place?
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!"
