Mortgage Loans After Bankruptcy
Many people believe that once they file for bankruptcy they will
have a difficult time getting a mortgage loan. However, there is
still hope for being approved even with a recent bankruptcy. If
you have bad credit and apply for a mortgage loan, more emphasis
will be placed on your income your down payment.
Most lenders prefer to wait until two years after your
bankruptcy before considering a person for a mortgage loan.
After these two years, it should be relatively easy to get
financing. In addition, you will probably be able to get one
hundred percent financing. This will happen as long as all your
payments have been reported as on time to the credit bureau
since your bankruptcy.
If you want to get a mortgage loan before the two year period is
finished then you will need a pretty much flawless payment
history since the time you filed for bankruptcy. In addition,
you will need to provide a down payment. The down payments
usually range between three and five percent to get approved.
If you do not have the money for a down payment then you can
consider borrowing from relatives. Once you finance your home,
you should be able to get a second and third mortgage that will
allow you to repay them. However, it is best to check with your
lender before doing this since most lenders have regulations on
where the down payment comes from.
If you do not want to borrow the money then another option is to
look for a down payment assistance program like Neighborhood
Gold or the Nehemiah program. Such programs give the seller aid
in helping you with the down payment. Normally receiving a down
payment from the seller is illegal, but through these programs,
it becomes legal.
Obtaining mortgage loans after bankruptcy is becoming much
easier today. By searching around you will likely find a lender
willing to help you with your mortgage loan.
