Is it possible to get a house with poor credit and not have a high intrest rate?

Yes it is possible.

You'll most likely be required to put a large sum as down payment and if you want to drop your rate even more you can buy it down. If you want to get the option of a even lower rate there is something called an option arm where you're allowed to make a minimum payment, but that will vary from 1%-5%+ as to what the minimum will be based on.

In todays market, you will find it almost impossible to even be approved. The fall of the sub-prime market means no more high risk loans. And even when they did lend high risk, the drawback that has everyone going into foreclosure now is the rates on the loans. Prime rate today on conventional lending is about 6.50%, when lenders were lending high risk, the rates were at least 7.50% or higher and were adjustable rates to boot. Credit rehab is your first responsible step to becoming a homeowner. Email me at thenderson@acgmoney, and I can help. I have easy answers for quick fix for certain credit problems and I work with REPUTIBLE credit repair companies who will help in the most professional way.

Yes it is, the only way to get a decent rate if you have bad credit is to go FHA. FHA requires a full manual review of your file so you better have solid compensating factors to make up for you bad credit or else you may be SOL. Banks use credit to determine the risk level of a given loan, bad credit means that you are a high risk. Banks cover their risk by charging a higher rate. Of course high interest rates are all relative, even with your bad credit their could be a huge difference in rate from different banks. Feel free to email me if you have further questions I'm always willing to talk shop, but I'm just trying to be as honest as possible and let you know that much of the time bad credit=bad rate.

I have found that many people who think they have bad credit simply don't.

If you truly have poor credit, then that will increase the interest rate.

I want to point out that you should not focus on the interest rate. Look at your overall payment. Sometimes I'm the second loan office who has the privilege of working up a loan for my client and often my interest rate will be higher, yet the payment is lower.

It is all in how the loan is structured. I finally told a client last week that it was her choice. She could pay $80 a month more by going with the lower interest rate at another company or she could close with me.

She's closing with me next week. :-)

If you have poor credit, then you will be forced into paying a premium for something called "default risk." There is no way around that.

However, you can STILL get a reasonable interest rate based on other factors such as the interest rates in the economy. If 90 day T-bill interest rate is 5%, you might have to pay 12% with bad credit. However, if T-bill rate drops to 2%, then you're only paying 9%, etc.

You can also reduce your default premium by lowering your LTV - or loan to value. This means you put more money down, up front.

You can further reduce your overall rate by decreasing interest rate risk and default rate risk by taking a shorter-term mortgage like a 10 or 15 year instead of a 30 year.

NO...and If you have poor credit, most likely you wont get a loan in the first place, If you have low income there's special programs to help first time buyers...HUD for example,just check with a Realtor to see whats out there. Most Realtors now a days make you get pre approved anyways before looking at homes.
