Bad Credit Mortgage - Got Bad Credit? Get 100% Financing!
by Lee Seno
Would you like to purchase a home but think it is impossible because
you have low credit scores and very little money saved for a down
payment? So you've given up the dream of owning your own home, having
to wait until your credit scores improve or until you have saved
enough for a substantial down payment.
Here is the good news: 100% financing is no longer the privilege
of those with perfect credit. In fact, there are specialty mortgage
programs designed specifically for those who have imperfect credit.
It is understood that good people all across this
county may have bad credit because of a few unexpected expenses
or events and that these good people should not be denied the right
to home ownership.
This means that having bad credit will not automatically
prevent you from purchasing a home, and you will not have to turn
over one single penny for the down payment. Imagine buying a home
this month, when you thought it was impossible because of past credit
issues.
So what are some the requirements for a 100% Bad
Credit Mortgage?
1. A minimum credit score of 580.
2. No more than one late rent or mortgage payments
in the last 12 months.
3. Sufficient income to easily pay your monthly
credit payments and mortgage. (your monthly debt must be less than
45-50% of your total monthly household income).
Meet the above requirements and you are eligible
to apply for 100% financing.
Concerns
Do you have concerns about collections, liens or
judgments that appear on your credit report? Well, lay your concerns
to rest because they are not even factored in the evaluation of
your application. Additionally any collections, liens or judgments
may remain open, meaning they do not need to be paid off. So not
only are you not penalized for your past financial difficulties,
you do not even need to pay for them now.
Benefits
There is nothing like owning your own home. Along
with the good feeling and pride that comes with home ownership,
there are financial benefits as well.
Unlike renting, your monthly housing payments will
go towards the building of equity. You can think of it as a savings
program where you are paying yourself instead of paying a landlord.
Homes have appreciated steadily and according to
the National Association of Realtors, the national median home price
has risen every year since 1968, regardless of periods of recessions
or declining sales. Depending on your specific situation, you may
also benefit from the any appreciation in the value of your home.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, there are
tax benefits that come with owning your own home. The interest that
that is paid on a mortgage is usually fully deductible on both your
federal and state income taxes. This tax deduction alone may make
a difference of several thousand dollars each year on your tax returns.
So perhaps you have been turned down for a mortgage
or believed you would never qualify. Or maybe the lack of a down
payment has kept you from buying a home.
With today's specialty mortgage programs that allow
those with a minimum credit score of 580 to qualify for 100% financing,
the dream of home ownership is now put within your reach. So go
out and seize the day, qualify for a loan and start looking for
your new home.
