No credit - wanting to buy a home?
My boyfriend and I want to buy a home that is not over $200,000 with maybe like $5000 at the most down, both of our credit is horrible right now, being repaired from stupid things in the past.

It would be in the Reno, NV area, and we are both pretty young to be buying a home. Is there any lender out there that would approve that right now?

I don’t have the answer to all of your questions. However, there are some things that you CAN do to repair your credit. In fact, sometimes you can indeed get negative items removed; depending on the situation. This might be a good place to start.

I recommend trying the free course at http://www.redfoxcredit.com/repair.php They provide a lot of great information for improving your credit score, and it worked well for me.

That's why we are in the middle of this financial crisis -- because people with horrible credits and those with no money down or in no position to buy a house were able to get a mortgage

Unfortunately for you, those days are long gone.

Banks and mortgage companies are now so strict in terms of lending that they want to see good credit history, sufficient income, and at least 20% downpayment

I suggest you repair your credit and save money. It may be a buyers market now -- but that is because not a lot of people can get a loan anymore to buy a house


lina
no you shouldn't buy the house....first save the money for the deposit and add the amount of 3 months of mortgage in case some of you lose the job

Well, you're NOT ready to buy a home. WAIT a year. REPAIR your credit by paying all bills in full and on time. Pay down, pay off all credit cards, paying 3-5 times minimums every month. Stop using credit cards. SAVE money for down payment. You need 3-5% down for FHA, and 10% is better. 20% down means you avoid PMI. 9-15 months should put you in position to buy. Nobody owes you a home, but yourselves, and you can get it for the two of you with persistence, perseverance and making better choices.

It would be best if you waited until both of you have built up good credit rating, have at least 20% down payment, and married (commitment). Friendship between boy and girl could easily break up. It would be horrible having a mortgage when you could not live together (would be worse and messier than a divorce).
Besides, there won't be any lenders willing to take the tremendous risk in your situation. If you found one sweet talking to both of you, beware, there is a catch, or the SCAM like a mortgage broker take your deposit money and skip town.

Good Luck... you will need it.

Right now Lenders want:

Excellent Credit Score - 750 and up
Up to 20% down plus another 3% to cover closing cost, etc.
Very little or no credit card debt
All other loans paid down as much as possible
Sufficient income and long employment history (preferrably not in an industry that is "shaky" and laying off people)

Don't get too discouraged. You may need to wait another 3 to 5 years but in this time you should have enough opportunity to fix your credit problems and get a larger down payment for a house.

No. You'll have to rebuild your credit and save more for a down payment.

Probably not right now if you have bad credit. I suggest you spend a couple of years rebuilding your bad credit and saving.

Best time to buy a house because of the foreclosures and everything but worse time to sell. In this market no one would really lend that much at once. Maybe an apartment? You shouldn't really get that big of a loan now because in the future you will have to go through hard times with only 5,000 at most down. Buy a small home that you will be able to afford and then as your salaries increase, buy a bigger and better home that you will enjoy and be proud to own instead of paying the loans/mortgages.
