Will
my less than perfect credit history prevent me form obtaining a mortgage?
There are options for those consumers that have experienced difficulty in
obtaining credit approval due to unforeseen credit problems in the past.
because you've experienced
financial hardship in the past,
don't give up. You do not need
perfect credit to be approved for a mortgage.
If you have had a number of late payments, you may need to provide a
letter explaining why those payments were late. It is useful to check your
credit standing with a lender several months before you formally apply for a
home loan. This gives you the opportunity to solve problems or correct errors on
your credit report that are detected during the processing of your loan without
delaying the closing.
Whether you've
experienced bankruptcy, foreclosures, collections, judgments or other credit challenges, you may qualify
for a loan.
What
are my options if I'm self employed?
Self-employed borrowers often find
that traditional mortgage rules make the mortgage process costly and time
consuming. But there are options
for the self-employed borrower. No
Income Verification Mortgages
and No Ratio Loans are just two of the programs offered to self-employed
borrowers with established credit histories.
The self-employed borrower can qualify for a loan base on their past
payment history. These loans do not require income verification and the
associated cost of providing audited profit and loss statements.
There
are many other Alternate Documentation Mortgages,
which offer less traditional documentation requirements. Their
reduced employment and income verifications options offers borrowers with less
traditional or hard to explain income sources an alternative to the rules of
conforming loans.
