Bad
Credit Mortgage Rates >
We are in the process of compliling a comprehensive resources for consumers
with less than perfect credit. Be sure to check back in with us in the
coming months for more information. Finding mortgage solutions if you
have had past credit issues can be a daunting task. Many lenders offer
bad credit mortgage options that can help you get back on track while
you work to improve your credit. Many of the programs are short term solutions
that are geared to giving homeowners an opportunity to pay their debts
in a timely fashion which will help improve their credit scores. Not all
bad credit mortgage rates are significantly higher than what can be obtained
by A-paper borrowers (those with solid credit). FHA loans (Federal Housing
Administration), VA loans (Veterans Adminstration), and USDA rural housing
loans can have rates similar to other conventional financing products.
As you shop for poor credit mortgage programs, be sure to ask if you may
qualify for any of the aforementioned options. It may help you keep your
mortgage payment low, allow you to lock in for a long term fixed rate
period, and save you the closing costs associated with having to refinance
again in a couple of years. If you end up having to go for a 2 year or
3 year adjustable rate product, make sure that you know when your initial
rate is going to adjust, keep paying your bills on time, and be prepared
to refinance prior to your mortgage rate going up.
