I would suggest that you research a state bond program if your a first time home buyer or have not had real estate interests with in the last three years. Those programs are basically FHA programs, but with better rates. With those programs, you can normally get 100% financing with your closing costs rolled into the mortgage. Unlike FHA and other financing options, these are more strict on the lender to provide. For example, I live in CT. If I quote a CHFA rate of 5.375% w/ 1 point, no matter where you go, the rate and point will be the same. Closing costs will be the same, so that reduces a lot of IBS for the buyer. But because of that, not all lenders offer the state bond program, so you would have to search for a lender that offers that. You can get a list of lenders that have been approved by the state bond programs on their website. Contact me directly if you have any more questions. |

I would just like to clarify a couple of things. First of all, just because a mortgage company gives someone a high rate, it does not mean that we are "screwing" someone. The high rate is from the bank whom is LOANING THE MONEY. Understand that when someone gets an abnormally high rate, it is normally because the client has bad credit and has a history of not paying their bills on time. I would not see this as "screwing" anyone, but basically watching their own butts in the event that they were to lend the money at all.
Income on the other hand is a very important factor when making a decision on a loan application. Although, I would ask you as to why (if your income is as good as you say) is your credit bad? Normally credit issues are because of a combination of high revolving debt (credit cards) and making late payments on a regular basis. I would just have to ask, as a loan officer as to why your credit is bad if you are making good money. That will (should) be a question that will be asked so you may as well prepare for it.
There are programs out there for you. Some of them, to be honest do NOT have extraordinary high rates. If you would like to know more about these programs don't hesitate to contact me at timothy.kazee@americanhm. com and we can talk about this. i will look forward to talking with you. |

Put down a sizable down payment, at LEAST 20%.It shows the mortgage company that you have positive cash flow. Try as best as possible to get your debt ratios down. Employment history is looked at, too.Be prepared to pay a higher interest rate. |

As mentioned previously, a bigger down payment will usually help. Depending on how bad your credit really is, depends on the amount you need to put down and what interest rates you will be charged.
If you have time before you buy, invest in a GOOD credit repair service. A GOOD credit repair specialist can work wonders in a 6-9 month period. Be careful selecting one of these companies as there are a lot of scams in this area.
Talk to a reliable Loan Officer for a good recomendation of who the have worked with in the past.
Owner financing or a Rent To Own option will work well too while you are building up your credit. These options are not always available though. |

If you finance, be very careful who you use. Some mortgage companies will take advantage of your poor credit with outrageous interest rates and other fees.
If you can wait, try to rent for a while and work on your credit and any remaining issues or habits that got you in the situation to begin with. Save enough for a 10-20% downpayment if you can. This will help with lower interest rates and give you the control to pick and choose from many options. It will also give you discipline in your financial life as well.
Prioritize your assests and liabilities. Lenders like to see assets that are solid and appreciable. You may have to re-evaluate your debt load.
There are also legitimate companies that can mend credit.
Do not consolidate debts. Avoid Bankruptcy. Mortgage companies check those two things before anything else on an application. |

you can buy a house with bad credit but, your interest rate will be high and you will have to pay points. There are several programs for first time home buyers. You can tried to get a FHA loan which the government funds. Please search several mortgage companies before settling.
