With 30% down, you may find a seller who will carry the financing.

Hi each lender and bank has their own specific criteria for score and such so it all depends but the majority need to have score of 620 + to do a loan going FHA. So for more specifics to your situation please call and or email me thanks Robert Oliveira 508 802 0935 or robertoliveira51@gmail.com

I had a few baddies in my report when my father-in-law passed away and we had to pay all the expenses. We have a good salary, have some savings for a good down payment of 30% of the house value and are trying to buy our first home. I know we should wait a bit until our scores are up again, but renting here in the Andover area is brutal (3.5K/month) and have been in temporary housing (we just relocated to this area) for a month.

Hi each bank and lender will offer some unique things based on score and down payment and such but again most want score 620+ I have done some with 600-620 with large down payment but only as FHA. So let me know your situation. Call and or email me. Thank you Robert Oliveira

We have a credit analyzing software that can show where improvements to your score can happen. There is no cost/obligation for this service. If you apply for pre-approval and you are above the minimum, great. You can always be improving your score while shopping around and then you will be in a better position if your search takes time.

Sebzan, really depending on what is holding your credit score back, will depend on what the next step for you in getting a pre-approval would be. I would suggest calling Rich (I have referred clients to him before I was licensed in all 50 and he is a true professional) and haivng him take a look at your qualifications. It shouldnt take long and if you are in position now to qualify with a lower score, there is nothing wrong with taking steps to improve your score especially if you are looking to utilize conventional financing.

If you have 30% downpayment to work with you might be able to make some quick improvements to your score by using some of your cash to pay down or pay off revolving debt (in particular, make sure all your credit cards have balances less than 30% of the limit on the card). The score will have a significant impact on the rate of the loan and even with the $3500 rent payment you might be better off in the long run improving your qualifications. Pick someone who is licensed in MA (local OR internet) to work with and help you figure out your options. (I have relatives there but don't have enough business to justify the license...) We have local lenders and I'd be happy to refer someone.

Everyone's definition of fair & poor credit is different... that's why the score is important.. if your mid score is over 640, you will have endless possibilities... (assuming all other loan requirements are met).. quite a few lenders here lately have dropped their mid score requirements to 620, and there are even lenders out there willing to go down as low as 580.. Also, a good mortgage broker can show you how to improve your score in as little as 30 to 45 days.. The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Do not use the local "Big" bank, or one of those 50 states internet lenders or nationwide lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

So, a bit more background: the problem with my credit history is the average age of accounts (I closed a few accounts a couple of years ago, all paid in full), two paid collections (one for $150 the phone company "forgot" to bill me and is under dispute) a paid charge off and some late payments. I am debt free (no pending charge offs, collections or late payments) and was just approved for a car loan I took just to improve my score.I have no foreclosures or bankruptcies. I have some FAKO scores of 621 and 664 (both say "good"), but I got a big surprise when I saw my FICO was close to 590... go figure this FAKO scores.I could wait a bit until my scores improve, but I have been looking for rentals in the area and the market is brutal, there is nothing literally.

With a 590 and no open accounts you are going to have significant challenges, and from your description a "credit repair" or improvement company isnt likely really be able to help - your problem is that you don't have any recent positive credit to offset the old problems. The new car loan will help, eventually, but might actually drop your score initially. My understanding is that ideally you should have a minimum of 2 open accounts and one should be a credit card. From the little I know you would likely be a good candidate for a "rent to own" situation, probably at least 6 months to pull your score up. Good luck.

Hello. What are your scores exactly? Where did you pull them? CreditKarma & Credit Sesame don't give exact scores. That is where you need to start. If you are looking for a reputable company who doesn't charge up front fees to increase your credit scores, give me a call.

PS> The first suggestion above from Dave is also potentially an option, it's possible a seller might self-finance your home purchase, possibly with a baloon after 12 months.

You have three scores so when we run credit we are looking to see what the middle score is.If that score is above a 620, you should be ok. If close it sounds like it will work its way up over time.

You're eligible for any loan product. The difficult task that most self-employed borrower's face is the income calculation of qualifying for the loan product.Here are the requirements and the way debt-to-income is calculated in this situation:Must be with the same employer or in the same line of work a minimum of 2 years. We review your most recent 2 years of tax returns; taking an average of the two years to determine how much can be counted towards your monthly income.I'd be happy to review your tax returns to aid in making a decision. Other factors, such as, credit score and credit history play an equal roll of importance in the pre-qualification process.www.imortgagelending.comcolby@imortgagelending.com

What exactly is your credit score? Also keep in mind that the scores lenders see will vary differently from those free scores offered via CreditKarma & Credit Sesame. Be sure you actually have a loan officer/lender pull your credit this way you know exactly what your three credit scores are!

There are honest ways to raise your credit score. I would start with a lender who uses "Rapid Rescore". It is the only honest way to determine how high you can get your credit. FHA has a program that claims it can go down to 580 based on the circumstances. You will have better luck working with a pro that will not charge you for this service. Primary Residential Mortgage has great people in Mass. They do Rapid Rescores and sometime work with applicants for months. You can do it but it will require a bit of work with a good partner.

Every lender that doesn't work for a bank. This is a great question, as it illustrates the desperation people have when they attempt to get a bank loan. Between fixating on the score and income, they turn down fantastic borrowers who would be great candidates for nonprime loans. This does not mean subprime as it may be a recent housing event, a low score, or income challenged (proving it) borrowers. Go where there are more home mortgage loan options: www.phmc.com/coreyvandenberg
