How much would I have to put down on a house for mortgage company to ignore my credit?
I have some blemishes on my credit score, last time I checked it was in the mid-high 500's. I'm looking at buying a house and I'm curious about how much I can put down on the house without the lender caring too much about my credit. I could realistically put down 20-30% and possibly a little more if I had to. I want to still get a smokin' apr.

If you put 20-30% down, find someone to run you through one of the automated underwriting engines.

If your scores are high 500's, and you put that much down (be sure to leave 4-6 months of your new mortgage payment in the bank for reserves), you'll likely get approved. Possibly even at A paper rates. Worst-case, maybe .5-1% higher rates, but it's still a good conventional 30 year fixed rate loan.

Anyone who tries to jam you into a 3 year subprime ARM, stay away from. If they don't know you'll likely qualify for a Fannie Mae loan, they're morons.

Good luck. With all the bad loans out there going bad the banks are VERY tight with money. Typicaly with a GOOD rating you need to put 20% down on a morgage. With your rating my bet is these days it will be like 50% and the APR will be through the roof anyway. Now is the worste possible time for people with bad credit to get a loan. The banks are taking a beating from all the high risk loans they wrote in the last 6 or 7 years. Basicaly you picked a REALLY bad time to screw up your credit...

It is impossible to ignore your credit history, right now is very hard to get approval from banks lot of them went to bankruptcy, losing a lot of money. My advice repair your credit, I think is very important to have a low interes rate, in order to have that, you need to clear whatever is holding your credit score low, after that with a good credit score & about 10-20% will be easy and better for you to get your house.

20% down will definitely help, but you're still not going to get the best rate with that kind of credit score

Mid to high 500's with verifiable income and no 30 day lates on your rental history, you should be able to get a loan with 10% down, but the rate will be penalized. 20% down and you'll get a significantly better rate, but you may be better off using the money to fix your credit and taking the higher rate for now than refinancing in 12 months or so.

Credit is the lynchpin of risk determination, but automated underwriting with Fannie Mae would accept strong assets (6+ months of your monthly payment in the bank) + significant down payment (20%) + steady job history (2+ years) to compensate to where you'd get a solid 30 year fixed rate.

I think the best thing to do is concentrate on building your credit, with a credit score in the 750 to 780 range you will be able to get a new home with nothing down and low interest rates.. Best bet...

Lenders are tightening their lending criteria due to the skyrocketing foreclosures. They aren't going to ignore your credit. They may however still be willing to give you a loan if there is adequate equity in the house to offset the risk of the loan. I would call at least 3 mortgage companies (instead of banks because they usually have more programs to fit more situations) to see who will give you the best deal.

Good luck.

If all else fells try a owner financing arrangement.

that is an interesting question, for sure

first, it's probably not going to happen if your credit is bad because you went bankrupt or if you just didn't pay your bills at all or on time

If you had a medical situation that caused the bankruptcy, well, then you might find a kind lender if everything else is up to snuff.

But your credit record will never be ignored unless you deal with Guido down the street.
