Getting a Mortgage With Bad Credit
If you are looking for a home or are considering refinancing
the one you are already into consolidate debt or get some cash
out for home improvement but believe you may be unable to
because you have bad credit, you may want to reconsider.
The mortgage industry is a very competitive one and there are
literally hundreds of lenders or wholesale lenders across the
country that would seriously consider doing business with you
even though you have bad credit.
You may be asking yourself why they would be interested in doing
business with you.
Here is the reason . . .
The understanding of most consumers is that you can only get a
mortgage from banks on the corner and that you must have perfect
credit.
This is not exactly true, these lenders known as wholesale
lenders have specific programs to meet the needs of many people
in every kind of situation.
Regardless if you have bad credit, no money to put down, or you
are looking for an interest only program, chances are, there is
a lender out there for you.
You can either shop around on your own, or hire a mortgage
broker to do the shopping for you.
A mortgage broker is not a lender, they work for the lender to
find them customers and fit them into their programs if
appropriate.
If your situation is unique or tough, you may want to consider
using a broker. They literally have hundreds of wholesale
lenders at their finger tips and it is their job to council and
educate you during the mortgage process from beginning to end.
Allow for up to four brokers to assess your situation, than base
your decision on the one that best fits your needs and budget.
