About 5 months ago I paid off all of my outstanding debt (credit cards, overdue bills, medical bills, etc…) I now want to purchase a new home. How can I raise my credit score so that I can get a great quote on a mortgage loan?

asked:


can i get a home loan financed without outrageous interest if i’ve had a foreclosure in the past few years if i get someone to cosign/coborrow with me that has really good credit? or maybe have the person with the really good credit take the loan out for me and just add my name to the title (would that do anything to help reestablish my credit..?).

thanks.

**and before anyone starts in on how i should have been responsible the first time, i was…i left my husband and he defaulted on the mortgage after he agreed to make the payments.

My soon to be husband and I are renting a home in our area and paying $1100.00 a month in rent. (This is quite a bit for the area that we live in) We are wanting to buy a home and feel that we have sufficient income (around $90,000) to own a home. The problem is that our credit scores are in the high 500’s. We have been told that we could qualify for a home loan but may have a higher interest rate. We have little debt between the two of us and have a down payment set aside from a family member. Just wondering if anyone has obtained a mortage loan with simular circumstances?

I file bankruptcy 2 years ago. I reaffirmed my house then decided I could not afford it. I had two mortgages and we moved out and told bank to foreclose. They sold house and I was told that they could not collect anything owed because of the state laws where I live and that I had filed bankruptcy. Now my credit report shows the bankruptcy but not the foreclosure. So I am wandering if somehow the foreclosure will show up somewhere once I try to get another home loan?

Me and my wife’s name are on the mortgage, when a lender checks my dept to income percent, after they run my credit and see the house payment and credit cards etc; do they allocate the full house payment in to my dept or half of it since my wife is part owner as well?

I only have a $920 a month house payment and 2 credit cards with no balance, after doing the math of 16-20% DTI it doesnt leave me a whole lot to bargain with a monthly payment for a car, I make $3200 a month. But I have also read that lenders dont want your dept to exceed 40-50% gross pay which sounds alot better to me, Im aiming for a $400-450 car monthly note.

looking at $22,000-$25,000 total loan amount for auto, 750ish credit score with 11 months for home mortgage… 2 years of one credit card and 7 months of another around $500. limits, thats my credit history .

My mortgagecompany issued me a moratorium for 4months (postponed payments)due to hurricane Wilma. This Hurricane displaced us for a couple of months and caused an extreme Financial hardship. The mortgage company(Wells Fargo Home mortgage) has on their records that they will not report any late payments and/or there will be no negative credit reporting.However, after i sent the payments and checked my credit report they indeed reported 120 days late payments to the major credit bureaus. When i talk to the represenatives they indeed see the notes about not repoting late to the credit bureau and even waived every late charge,but are adamant about not removing the negative reporting. I was a loyal consumer and my lateness was due to “acts of Nature” beyond my control. Initially the moratorium helped our family, but in the end it has really hurt my credit worthiness. I am having difficulty securing another home loan (sold previous property)because of the negative reporting. What can I do?

I am currently 15 months off my Chapter 7 bankruptcy being discharged and I now have 3 credit cards with zero balance and a Car loan which has been paid on time every month.

I make 55k a year and am wanting to buy a home and stop renting. Do you believe I will be able to get a home mortgage?
If so, what type of interest rates would you suspect I would get or type of payment with taxes based on a 150k home loan? I live in El Paso Texas.
Thanks!

Stephan asked:


The government is shelling out 700 billion dollars to buy the bad loans that are putting the big banks in danger. We are told that the bad loans consist mainly of unpaid mortgages (sub-primes etc). So the government is effectively buying 700 billion dollars of housing. If we estimate the price of one house between 100k$ and 350k$, then the government should be acquiring 2 to 7 million houses. That is, unless we are being misled and that these bad loans were made up of a lot more than just home mortgages…
