FHA Streamline Refinance: No Longer Easy?

The FHA Streamline refinance was originally created by HUD to "make it easy" for people who currently had FHA loans to be able to take advantage of lower interest rates when they were available without having to completely re-qualify for a new loan.

If You Have Bad Credit, Can You Still Get A Mortgage?

January 14, 2009

"If you have bad credit, can you still get a mortgage?" Generally speaking - no. Or maybe I should say "not until you fix your credit". Fix your credit? How does that work? The truth is, I don't really know (how is that for honesty?).  But I can say that we work with a small handful of credit repair companies who help people remove inaccurate information from their credit reports … [Read more...]

Your credit score is a numerical representation of your statistical likelihood to repay credit that is extended to you.  Scores range from 350 to 850.  Your score is a "snapshot" of a specific moment and can change with new actions and the passage of time.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
