We a place but we are afraid it is a scam.They want 2000 dollars up front for their insurance before they will grant us the loan. We don't have 2grand. Any help out there??


Forget about giving some money to get a loan.

This may be a solution, I've heard it worked:

Contact a local construction/carpenter school and tell them your story. Offer them to use your

house as a real case in their courses. You won't charge them, but they do the job for free. If

they ask for money, get a local wood shop to sponsor the fees.
You have good chances.

If it doesn't work, take a look at prosper.com

Good luck !

And learn to clean your credit !

Is there such a loan mortgage to refinance a home with people with bad credit?

intrest rate went up but having difficulty making payments and lowering my credit score


It may be too late if you have missed mortgage payments already but find an FHA Lender for a refi. The FHA program is back in favor now that people are in ARM's that are about to explode on them.

There are still plenty of Subprime Lenders who refi on bad credit but if you can go FHA, that will get you into a 30 year fixed with a very good rate. Yes, you will have to pay PMI, but it will likely be worth it depending on what your payments will adjust to.

Best wishes!

there are companies that do this, but you will pay alot. I am trying to get a home equity loan but my credit is horrible.

Currently I am working on getting my credit score higher so I can get that loan.

I can get one now but I will pay 18% interest and thats no good.


It depends how bad your credit is. Everyone is really tightening up on lending. My best advise to you is to do whatever it takes to make your mortgage payments on time, the more you are late the harder it will be to get another loan and eventually impossible and you will end up losing your home.


I suggest Hometown Banc Corp. They may be your best opportunity for someone to say yes. If your credit does not measure up, they don’t simply “forget to call you back.” They help you get into a credit repair program you can afford regardless of income. Check out the free evaluation form at the source website and a Hometown loan officer will contact you .


You need to talk to someone in the mortgage industry immediately. FHA will probably be your best bet if you haven't been late beyond 30 days on the mortgage. If you have and there is a good enough reason, then you may be able to write a letter of explanation and still have it refinanced. Ask friends and family about their recent mortgage experiences and asked them to refer you to someone if they had a good experience. There's a lot people in the industry looking to take advantage of people just like you.. So be careful.

Bad credit to good credit, home refinance?

I am buying a house with my husband but our credit is less than stellar. We were approved for a loan but with a nominally high (6.75) interest rate and the monthly payment is doable but will have us paying more than 3 times the value of the home over the course of the mortgage. Our credit is at such a state that it will be repaired in about a year or two and we will be back to the excellent credit scores we had before my husband lost his job. What exactly is refinancing? Does it involve a lender paying back the entire principal of the loan and clearing our name with the current lender, and then relending us the money with more attractive numbers? If so, what are the chances of us being able to do that? How does it work?


Make sure that your current loan doesn't have any pre-payment penalties that you will have to pay if you refinance in a year or two. Some loans have pre-payment penalties out for years, and hefty penalties if you are refinancing.

With that being said, you have the right idea on refinance. When you refinance, the new lender will pay the old lender the balance. But when you refinance, you incur closing costs again, appraisal fees, etc., etc. - so don't make a hobby out of refinancing your house.

Chances are great that if you continue to work on your credit, you can refinance down the road.


You wrote
"Does it involve a lender paying back the entire principal of the loan and clearing our name with the current lender, and then relending us the money with more attractive numbers?"

Yes, it may work that way.

If your credit score goes up AND interest rates are stable or goes down, you should be able to get a good offer in a year.

Bad Credit-Home Loan?

I have a 495 credit score and just had a recent divorce and still living with my husband. I am staying with him to save money however I want to get my own home and its seems not to be possible because of my credit score. I have collections and some recent one's too. Are there any lenders out there that would be able to help me? I know this is alot but I am in the process of working on repairing my credit by paying car and credit card bills on time and no new open accounts. I want to buy a foreclosure and they have really good deals in Michigan the area that I am in. I know there will be high fees associated with a credit score like mines. That is not such a big deal if I get a good deal on a home and I have an action plan for my credit and would refinance in a year or so. Only serious inquires please and any advice on this type of situation. Thanks!


You need to wake up to reality, you can't afford to buy a house.


There is absolutely no way you are going to qualify for any home mortgage, expecially in the current housing marketing. Have you not heard the news that many sub-prime mortgage companies have gone bankrupt?

Your only hope is to clean up your credit. You should check this site: http://www.nfcc.org/ . This is Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS), a legit non-profit company that offers free credit counseling. They also have a debt management program available, if you qualify, at no fee.

It's going to be 2 or 3 years after you clean up all those negatives before you can even consider buying a house.


unfortunately not, My friend is in the lending business his company works with the lowest score possible, and that's 520. Anyone saying they will really check them out hard. through the BBB, Housing Authories, and the Attorney Generals office.
You need to get your credit back on track, it'll take 6 months to a year to do that, with constant payments.


Not now especially without 20% down and closing costs. The Sub Prime market has shut down, the Alt-A is almost gone and credit has tightened up for those with good (720 and above) credit. Continue paying your things on time but the collections will still remain on your report for 7 years.


To make this statement

"process of working on repairing my credit by paying car and credit card bills on time and no new open accounts"

and then to make this statement

"I know there will be high fees associated with a credit score like mines. That is not such a big deal if I get a good deal on a home and I have an action plan for my credit and would refinance in a year or so."

means you need to look at both those statements and figure out why you will not get a home loan for a few years yet.

Building a good credit rating mean you make smart credit decisions and not ones like in the last quote. What if things do NOT go as you expect and something unforseen happens and you can not refi?

Work on your credit.

You can get a loan, but you'll have to put down a pretty good sized down payment. Typically they range from about 25-35% of the value of the house. I work in the mortgage business in Pennsylvania, and unfortunately cannot do loans in Michigan, but I am telling you that at least in PA, there are still people who will do this loan. I'm working on one right now that is very similar. You are going to need to try what is referred to as a hard money lender. The rate will be high, definately in the teens and you will probably have to pay around 4 points, but it can be done.


ite better for you to try for an online loan.i think that th e below website will help you to find the right solution.


Don't lose hope if you're looking to buy a home. There are so many different ways to fund a home now, just about anyone with any kind of credit can get into a home, regardless of credit situation.

Of course, some will cost you more money in the long run, but a home it's still one of the best investments that you can make, so, in many cases, it's worth it, especially for the first year of ownership.

You should shop around, and ask different lenders what kind of programs they have, and if they can help. Try to find a lender that specializes in bad credit mortgages. You can find some bad credit mortgage lenders listed on this page on and off:

If i buy my first home with bad credit and agree to all terms that come with a sub prime loan....?

and say a month or two later my credit is good , middle score over 620......then can i refinance my loan to a prime loan ?

(i was just about to apply for a home loan as i have good credit due to authorised user tradelines, since this will change on sept 1 i wanted to get my loan before that. this morning i notice an incorrect entry on my credit report ($650). i will fight it but it will take 30 to 45 days.......too late for me because as soon as sept 1 hits... the au lines will not be considered and my middle score will crash )


You have to make a decision. I have a couple of questions.

#1 Do you have a home under contract presently?

#2 Are you pre-approved for a loan of any kind sub-prime or anything else?

You indicated you are about to apply for a home loan, so I can safely say that the answer to my two questions are "NO"

Since you have neither applied for a loan or have a house under contract, wait until you have fought the credit bureaus and cleaned up your credit a bit.

With a higher credit score you will be able to lower your interest rate thus lowering your monthly payment.

If you get pre-approved and find a house before Sep 1, you will get a loan that has a pre-payment penalty that will be in effect for a minimum of 2 years and could be in effect as long as 5 years, but normally they go no further than 3 years.

So make up your mind what you want to do and what is important to you.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"


Doesn't sound like there is much you can do before Sept. 1.


you will no longer be able to get a sub-prime loan...
did you not listen to Pres. Bush's Speech this week?

The feds are going after anyone whoeven dares to attempt to sell these type of loans. The Federal Reserve has just dumped $70 Bill into our banks to keep them from going under and they have all been mandated NOT to process any sub-prime, creative financing or zero down loans.

good luck :)


I don't know what part of the country you live in, But if you can wait the 45 days untill the repair is done. They may GIVE you a house. I have just come from Atlanta where default is everywhere the number of stunning houses empty is nothing
short of amazing. In 45 days with credit repaired you will be able to get a new or almost new house for a song. I know its hard, but my advice is to wait. The Deals are great, and getting better by the day.


WAIT until your credit report IS good . (over 700)
Why pay all the extra $$$$ to get in with bad credit ?
That does Not seem wise at all . . .
Is that why your credit is bad to start with ?

>


Most subprimes come with steep early repayment penalties which lock you in. Often, you would have to pay $10,000 or more to refinance.

If your credit is that bad, then you are not ready to buy a home. Start saving up some money, pay all your bills on time, get out of debt. THEN start looking for a home.

Pretty good chance you can't get a subprime funded right now anyway.

Can anyone help me refinance my mobile home loan on an 1977 Holly Park Trailer?

I want to consolidate my mobile home payment with my cars payment. I owe @6,500 on the home & $3,300 on the car. Please help. I've tried many many places and get no where cause of my bad credit and mainly the year of my home. It is a very well maintained place on a lot that we rent. It does not feel like its 30+ years old. We love this place but need to work out our monthly budget.


Reality check the trailer is virtually worth nothing no matter that is is your home and you love it.

It is on a rented lot making it even worse as far as value.

You will not be getting a loan. It is hard enough to finance a new trailer let alone one with no value. Sorry


I am thinking no bank will touch it because the actual value is not there. If your credit score is less than say 675 you dont have a chance.

You might try going to lendingtree.com fill out the form and if there is anyone out there that is interested in making the loan, they will be calling you.

Good Luck


You may still owe 6,500 on the home but the value is $0 and you will not get a loan.

As you probably know by now there are very, very few lenders who will finance a trailer.

Do not send th people who would spam your question one dime for a loan you will never get.

Bad Credit Mortgage Refinance in Australia?

I am trying to refinance my existing home loan, plus a 2nd mortgage as well as a number of other loans, cards etc. I do have 2 defaults on my file, one paid and one unpaid. Has anyone been in a similar situation and how did they refinance


Though refinancing your home loan to get extra cash and pay off your credit card debt might be a good idea. It is not the best solution. This serves best the credit card interests and not yours. Because even if you get your debt settled and eliminate it for good, if you don't change the way you spend, you'll keep accumulating debt once again and maybe next time you won't be able to resort to your home equity.

Moreover, since refinance home loans generally worsen the terms of your mortgage, you are further risking your property if you fail to meet the monthly payments. And though you may be replacing expensive debt with cheaper and more affordable debt, you are also replacing unsecured debt with debt that is secured with your home. If you are not good at managing your finances (and that's why you had to resort to debt settlement), that's something that you'd better avoid.

I have not been in that specific situation myself but I would recommend you make some calls and talk to some mortgage and refinancing companies and ask them what they can offer you...problem being that this takes time. there are also a number of websites out there that can take some of the hard work out of comparisons and give you assistance. one such I have found very useful is http://www.mortgagecalculater.com.au as i said though try to make lots of enquiries and talk to lots of people...the difference between the first option and the best option is often startling.

hope this helps and good luck with the refinancing

Is it possible to refinance a singlewide mobile home with bad credit?

I need a loan desperately and keep getting the run around is there anyone that can help me?
I am searching for a subprime lender


One of the things that they will ask you when going over criteria for a loan is whether or not it sits on a foundation. If it is moveabe, it is likely you will be turned down.

can you refinance loan for a rental home that you do not own?

I have bad credit I need a loan to purchase property. I have 2 properties that have been super for rentals and want to buy them. But how with bad credit?


With bad credit, it is doubtful a bank will give you a loan for investment property. All you can do is try a mortgage broker to see if he has any lenders that do mortgages on less-than-pristine credit, but with today's credit crunch, don't get your hopes up.

BTW, it would also help if you could show existing financials (rental income, costs to maintain, etc.) to the banks.
