Today it’s harder than anytime to find lenders that offer loans for bad credit.
You can buy a home through the bank, but it will be hard to obtain unless
you have a down payment.
The higher the down payment better chance getting a loan through
bank. Currently FHA is requiring 3.5% down, if you can put down 20% down, you
will have better chance obtaining a loan.
Buyers need to go online and shop for a lender once you have your down payment.
Now the question is where do you get the down payment from. You have to get
creative, check into your 401K plan with your job also certain life
insurance allow you to borrow from your policy, check with your insurance
agent to verify if you have this type of policy. If all fail borrow from
family or just move in with them. Many first time buyers are moving
in with parents to save up their down payment. A good thing about
putting 20% down to buy a home, is that it eliminates mortgage
insurance which mean lower payment.
Once you have your down payment search for a lender that will work with
your credit do some comparison shopping online.
Once you are approved you will need to find a realtor to help you
find your dream home, if you are looking for a home in
