My husband and I are looking at buying our first house. We’ve been in an apartment for a year and a half now and we’re more than ready to move into a house and actually have some counter space and decently sized bedrooms haha.

How do you calculate mortgage payments? I saw some mortgage calculators online, but they were not accurate. They didn’t ask for interest rates or property taxes or anything like that. They just divided the cost of the house over 30 years. I would have assumed that you multiply the interest rate (we’ll say 6%) by the cost of the house. Then divide the actual loan amount by 30 and add the interest to it.

It is similar to credit piggy backing but not only sharing the persons credit card as an “authorized user”, but sharing the “individual”, such as lines of credit, mortgage, loans, etc. Does such service exist in America? I have heard it is popular in Arizona and Virginia. Thanks

Owning a home is part of the American dream. It’s also the biggest purchase that most of us will ever make, and because of that, almost everyone will be borrowing money to do it. Unfortunately, for many people that means a bad credit home loan, and that might be hard to get.

It’s simple. Imagine going to a bank and asking for $200,000. And then imagine that you have bad credit. You’re always behind on your bills, your credit cards are stretched to the limit – or you have no credit cards – and you have no collateral. Now try and imagine what the bank will say.

Reverse mortgage calculators offer an excellent opportunity to generate loan estimates and to get an idea of the possibility of how much money you will receive from a reverse mortgage. However, note the word estimate. These calculators are simply a tool to give you an idea of what you can reasonably expect to receive when you negotiate a loan.

We’ve been married for a couple of years and in the future want to buy a house – currently saving for a deposit. At the moment we are renting.

The problem:

My credit history is perfect, my husband’s is dreadful – I’ve never had a debt, a loan or anything like that, never owed a penny. But because I’ve always been such a stickler for never having what I can’t afford, I’ve also never had a credit card … apparently I should have one to ‘prove myself’ when it comes to paying back money?

My husband on the other hand had bad debts a few years ago before I knew him. These are all cleared up and paid off and he hasn’t had a problem since then, we got the experien report done etc. We have never had anything in joint names as we were advised that his bad credit would taint my name too.

Borrowers with “bruised credit” seeking commercial loans should not give up all hope, despite the credit crisis.  There are still commercial loan options for borrowers with scores in the 500’s.   And every action, large or small, should be taken by the borrower to improve their score.

I am a divorced women with 2 kids who has just put my past financial problems behind me and I am on the right track to saving money and providing for my children. I am in love with someone who is not great with his finances (has a high interest mortgage, bad credit, etc.). We have been able to keep the money issue out of our relationship and we are perfect together in every way. If we were to get married, is there any way to keep finances separate? We live in AZ (community property state). Do creditors accept pre-nup agreements? I am not looking for advice to “dump” him, or “run for the hills”. I am also not looking for relationship help. I am looking for LEGAL advice. I know there has got to be other couples who have been around the block before who might be able to give me some advice. Thank you!

Owning a home is part of the American dream. It’s also the biggest purchase that most of us will ever make, and because of that, almost everyone will be borrowing money to do it. Unfortunately, for many people that means a bad credit home loan, and that might be hard to get. It’s simple. Imagine going to a bank and asking for $200,000. And then imagine that you have bad credit. You’re always behind on your bills, your credit cards are stretched to the limit – or you have no credit cards – and you have no collateral. Now try and imagine what the bank will say. Having a home is a big part of the American dream, but having bad credit is a big part of the American reality. There are a lot of people with bad credit who want to buy homes, but how can they convince a bank or other lender to give them money if it’s clear they’ve never been able to pay their bills on time? The first thing to do if you’re contemplating buying a home and you have bad credit is to try and establish good credit. Make sure you pay your bills promptly. If you don’t have a major credit card, get one, use it and pay the bills promptly. You’re trying to convince a lender that you can be trusted to pay back money you’ve borrowed. Next, you want to carefully check your credit score. Your credit score is a history of all of your financial activity as it pertains to credit; in other words, how much and how often you have borrowed and how promptly you’ve paid it back. Credit scores are generated by three companies:Experian; Equifax and TransUnion, and you’re allowed one free credit report a year from each of these companies. If you’re thinking of borrowing for a house, check your credit report; it’s entirely possible that there are mistakes that could lower your score. Now assume that you’re on your way to establishing credit (but you’re not quite there yet) and your credit report is accurate. The next step is to find someone who is willing to lend you money, and that is probably the easiest step of all. With so many Americans have bad credit, mortgage companies have responded by loosening restrictions on loans and almost all of them have special bad credit programs. Of course, these people aren’t giving the money away. You’ll still have to go through the application process and there are some criteria – loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, and monthly income – that they will use to determine whether or not you are a good risk. However, don’t forget that if you have bad credit and a mortgage company is willing to talk to you, they want your business, so don’t be afraid to negotiate. But what if the private mortgage companies and the banks turn you down? Are you out of options? Not at all. There are a lot of different ways you can get money for a house if you have bad credit. A good place to check is the Federal Housing Authority (FHA.) FHA loans have very generous conditions (the down payment can be as low as 3% or less), they are willing to help people with bad credit and they have various programs that offer excellent deals to professional people – police officers, teachers – to encourage them to become homeowners in the community where they work. Another good choice is Fannie Mae. This private company can make home loans easily available – even if you have bad credit – through their Expanded Approval Program. Getting a bad credit home loan can take extra time, but it’s worth the effort. Interest rates are low and there are a lot of options. Don’t delay your dream.
