Can you get a home loan after bankruptcy?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:13 pm

Did you know that you could still get credit facilities even when you are going through bankruptcy? Better still, this is a good way to rebuild your credit rating. This is because it gives you good opportunity to prove to creditors that you can be trusted with finances. Though it is not very easy to get unsecured loans at such a time, you will be surprised to find that some firms will be looking for you.

Some of the lending firms that will be more than willing to offer you a loan are mortgage firms. In fact, they will give you an unsecured loan. It is not entirely unsecured because what they will fall back on, in case you default payment, is the house you are going to buy. To improve on your credibility, there are a few things that you can do.

Once you have filed for bankruptcy, it is wise for you to open up an account and start saving. Maintain good records or the account and avoid overdrawing from it. If there are payments to be made through the account, make sure that they are timely. You will realize that with time, your credit rating will really have improved. This may take about two years.

If two years is a relatively long time or you to wait, then some firms will need some form of down payment or the mortgage. You can acquire this through borrowing from friends and relatives. If this is not adequate enough, take advantage of firms with down payment support programs like the Nehemiah program.

What’s an easy solution for bad credit mortgages?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:12 pm

When you need to obtain a mortgage for bad credit, there are a couple options you have to choose from. Before you commit to anything, it is crucial that you know your options and spend some time thinking about this important decision. Whatever you decide is something you may be stuck facing and paying off for the next 30 years, so do not take this decision lightly.

Your mortgage for bad credit options are basically the following:

1. Search for and try to find the best offer with your current credit situation
2. Focus on credit restoration to qualify for preferred treatment

There are a number of companies and organizations that will approve you for a home loan no matter what your credit score, but that comes with major consequences. You’re likely to pay outrageous fees and the interest you’ll pay on the loan will be two to three times the average rate.

As a result, not only will it cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars more to live in your home every month, but by the time you pay off your mortgage it could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars more. That’s because each month you pay your mortgage, more money is sent to the bank to pay interest than to actually owning your home. You’re simply paying a fee.

Whether you need a mortgage for bad credit to purchase a new home, refinance your current home, or buy a second home, you’ll end up paying more with these plans – and not just in mortgage payments. Because of your bad credit, your closing costs could be higher and you may end up paying private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is nothing more than a fee because of your bad credit score.

This can all be entirely eliminated by simply planning 30 – 90 days before you purchase your home. By putting a little effort in restoring your credit, you can erase any worries about getting approved for a mortgage. In doing so you’ll save thousands of dollars in the process and reduce your closing costs.
