Getting Mortgages With Bad Credit
If you have bad credit, then you might think that getting a mortgage is impossible. Obviously it is harder to get a mortgage if you have bad credit, but it is by no means impossible. There are more and more lenders willing to offer mortgages to people with a poor credit rating, especially if your credit problems are in the past. Here are some useful tips on how to get a mortgage with poor credit:
Look at your credit
Before applying for a mortgage, make sure that your credit report is in order. Get hold of a copy and get any mistakes changed. If you have had credit problems in the past but have cleared them up, then you want your credit report to reflect this. An accurate credit report will help you to secure a better mortgage. Also, don’t open or close any accounts as this can affect your score. Try and spread any debts you have or reduce them, as this will put you in a better position.
Have cash reserves
If you have and cannot afford to put money down on a mortgage, then the lenders will want to see that you have a low debt-to-income ratio and that you have adequate cash reserves. The lender has to see that despite your problems, you are not a huge risk to them and that you will be able to make the payments.
Finding the right lender
Finding the right lender is very important, especially if you want to get a decent interest rate. The best way to find a good deal is online, because you can search for provider rates in just a few clicks. Also, most of the best deals are online due to online companies having low overhead costs. Despite this, it does pay to look offline as well. The more you shop around the better deal you can find.

Credit card balances reported just once a month
Are my credit card balances/payments reported to EQ/TU/EX just once a month or are the balances daily updated with the CRA?
Withdraw 401k - gift??
I was told by someone that you cannot withdraw money from your 401k because it will show as gift money. Is that true?
Negative impact on my credit score
I can understand that the banks cannot collect money on someone who has filed chapter 7. But if the bank wants to take back the property in the enforcement of the lien, they must file foreclosure proceedings against the home. Being that the foreclosure goes into the public records, and ones FICO score has public records included in the report will that foreclosure be scored and reported and still have a negative impact on my credit score?

Dispute with CRA?
I have been into repairing my credit for quite sometime now!! In the meanwhile, I had pulled my husband's credit so that we can have a look at it and accordingly plan for our home purchase in the coming few months. On his credit reports it shows some of the open accounts being paid late and they were. At this point do we try dispute it with the CRA's or do send out a goodwill letter to the OC? Any advice would be appreciated.
cosignor filed bankruptcy
Hello all,
I'm curious is my cosignor is allowed to claim a chapter 13 on our home without my knowledge. I've heard he's not allowed to do that. We are also going through a short-sale right now. When he filed for bankruptcy, it voided our shortsale which WAS supposed to close in four days. So, I am confused on how he could file for bankruptcy and include our home without my consent. Maybe it is possible...I'm just looking for answers to continue our shortsale. It may be possible t...
mortgage/deed situation
i have been deed owner to a property since 1998, never on the mortgage, or loan. In 2006 i did not qualify for a mortgage to remove my x husband, so i added a friend to the deed to get a mortgage. 3 yrs ago the friendship went sour and we quick claimed the deed to my name only, the mortgage remained in the friends name. if the mortgage goes into default at this time, do i have a legal obligation as the deed owner?
Settling a second mortgage
I had a settled a second mortgage. I stated to them that I wanted a letter that it was paid in full and get a full release on the lien. Now, I have received the letter in the mail which says that the loan has been paid in full, release of lien etc. But I also received a 1099 in the mail, do I have to claim this on my taxes as income even though I received a paid in full letter?
main problem of getting a "bad credit mortgag"is not getting the mortgage, but getting one with a decent interest rate. Lenders will usually offer you a mortgage, but because you are seen as higher risk the rates will be much higher. You should expect to pay more if you have bad credit, but that doesn’t mean you need to pay huge amounts. If you look around you can find a good deal.
Seek advice
The best way to find a good deal is to consult an independent financial advisor or a mortgage broker. They will find out which companies will consider you and which will reject you. It is important not to apply to lenders who will reject you, because this will adversely affect your credit score and so damage your chances of getting a mortgage elsewhere. However, if you an put your credit problems behind you and are willing to shop around, you can find a mortgage with a decent rate that will suit your needs.
