I got a foreclosure on 2/2007 due to a financial hardship, having said that I have collections for my unpaid credit cards (3) in total all charged off and now I am ready to rebuild my credit, where do I start to qualify again for a house?

Hi lisvet!

Welcome to forums!

With a charged off account on your credit report, lender will not be ready to give you a loan. You should first start paying off the collection account.You can negotiate with the collection agency and get a payment plan for it. Paying off the collections will also help you in improving your score to some extent. Thus, it would become easier for you to qualify for a loan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I decided to give my home back after suffering an illness after the birth of my son. My husband could not afford the house payments. We gave the house and car back. I have recently paid the difference in the car. I am back to work making 34/hr . I have been a nurse for 12yrs and always worked except for my illness. Can I get a home loan for approx 40,000

Hi Guest,

Did you apply for a short sale in order to get rid of your previous property? If yes, then you'll have to wait for at least 2-3 years in order to get a new loan.

Thanks

If you have a substantial down payment you can go to what is called a hard money lender. You will pay more interest, but these types of lenders look at the equity you have in the property rather than your credit. In the mid 1980's regular lenders were charging 18% to people with good credit. Hard money lenders at 11% don't look too bad from that perspective.

Hi Tim,

You may qualify for a lesser amount of mortgage. If you have the required credit score, income and employment history, you should contact the local lenders and apply for a mortgage.

Thanks

Hi Alexis,

If you don't have a proper credit report and score, it will be difficult for you to qualify for a mortgage. After a foreclosure, you need to wait for 3-4 years in order to qualify for a mortgage. In the meanwhile, you could have taken steps to improve your credit. You should have applied for a secured credit card and tried to build up your credit. I will suggest you to get hold of your credit report and take the needed steps to improve it and then apply for a mortgage.

Thanks
