What is a bad credit home loan mortgage? Do these type of mortgages really exist? The answer is an astounding yes! Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to have perfect credit to obtain a mortgage loan. While A+ credit may have been a requirement in the past, the times have changed. The truth of the matter is there are now more consumers with derogatory credit history than those with pristine credit. If lenders only made loans to borrowers with perfect credit then they would be leaving out over half of their market!. Mortgage lending, just like any other enterprise, is a business.. and excluding potential business from over half your market is just not acceptable. Thus, the bad credit home loan mortgage market aka the sub-prime mortgage market was born.
Bad credit home loan mortgages or sub-prime mortgage loans are basically home loans whose guidelines allow for derogatory credit history items such as: bankruptcy, repossessions, past due payments, collection accounts, low credit scores and high debt ratios. These are the most common obstacles that cause consumers not to qualify for a traditional mortgage loan. Sub-prime loans remove these road blocks so that even if you have experienced these type of problems you can still qualify for home loan financing and fulfill your dream of home ownership.
Many lenders offer bad credit home loan mortgages these days. You should know that each lender will have their own portfolio of sub-prime loans offered and the qualification guidelines will vary. For example, lender A and lender B both offer 100% financing on home loans for people with bad credit. However, Lender A may require that in order to qualify for this program you must have a 620 credit score with no bankruptcy in the last 12 months while lender B may require that you have a 580 credit score with no bankruptcy in the last 24 months. So while you may not qualify with one lender for a particular program you may qualify with another one. Also, interest rates will vary from lender to lender.
To maximize your chance of getting the best possible bad credit home loan for your situation, you should shop around and get quotes from several sub-prime mortgage lenders. There are many sites on the internet that make this job easy for you. Sites such as www.equityloansource.com and www.badcreditloanshop.com are a great source of information for bad credit home loans. You can apply to receive multiple quotes from sub-prime loan lenders by completing just one application. This can save you a lot of time and once you get your quotes you can then compare them and select the lender that offers you the best deal.
