How to Get a Bad Credit Mortgage

Many people who have bad credit feel as though trying to get a mortgage would be impossible. The idea follows the norm of society; people who have bad credit simply do not get new loans, like mortgages. What people do not realise, however, is that there are companies out there who specialise in offering bad credit mortgages to people who want to be able to own their own home, but don’t know what to do. People with bad credit come to these companies and manage to get mortgages; while the interest rate may be higher, people who can afford the payments can get a mortgage just as others do. Once you have a mortgage, refinancing is possible down the track that could provide improved interest rates. Many people feel that the process of obtaining a bad credit mortgage can be difficult and complicated, but If you follow simple steps, obtaining a mortgage can be easier than you realise.

I have bad credit and I would like to refinance my mortgage so I need some help repairing my credit at a decent price. Any suggestions?

I have been trying for several month to get a loan for a new home, but I have had no success at all. Everybody that I contact or apply with give me the same answer all the time, which is ” Sorry we can’t help you at this time due to your poor credit rating. If no one will give you a chance then how can you fix your credit situation? I have been employed for the past five years with the same company. I don’t make a whole lot a year. I make about $40,000 a year. I think I can afford a new mortgage. I would like for my children to grow up in a better situation than I did. I admit I have made some mistakes financially, but are those mistakes going to haunt me forever? I just want a chance to live the American dream of home ownership. Please don’t mention credit repair, I have tried those companies and my credit sitiuation is was worse after I finished the repair program. If you do not have positive input please don’t respond to this question. Rip-off artist need not respond.

We got married in January. She has almost no credit history, I have a horrible credit history (Score is currently 549, but rising) thanks to my ex wife and my parents having used my name. I’m 26, she is 23. Together, we have a combined household income of about $52,000/year. We really dont want to pay rent anymore as it is quite the waste of money, so we are looking at buying. However, we are very aware of the fact that we are in no position to be applying for loans/mortgages. What options are available to us and how do they work?
Ok, let me say again. Our credit score is currently 549. We could not currently get a mortgage. And we dont wish to continue wasting money on rent.
