A 100% Financed Bad Credit Mortgage Loan - Myth Or Reality?
Monday, January 8th, 2007s and homeowners with bad or poor credit who
are looking for a mortgage with 100% financing may be surprised
to discover, that due to today’s more lenient lending practices,
it is almost as easy to get approved for a new home loan or to
refinance your current mortgage with a poor credit rating than
it is if you had good a credit rating.
Tip - This type of bad credit mortgage loan normally doesn’t
translate into lower interest rate loans. You may qualify for a
100% mortgage but the terms of the loan and interest rate won’t
be a favorable as if you had great credit.
Bad credit (i.e. also known as Subprime) mortgage lenders offer
a variety of 100% mortgage packages for borrowers and in some
instances even 103% mortgage loans are available which also
include your closing costs. You have several options when it
comes to this type of financing. Below are few things that
should help you get started on the right track.
100% Mortgage Loans - The Good and the Bad
The primary benefit of a home loan that offers 100% financing,
especially if you have less than perfect credit, is that you
can purchase a home with little or no cash down. Rather than
continuing to throw money down the rat hole of monthly rent you
can begin to build equity in a home of your own.
On the other hand, the primary disadvantage of 100% financing
is that you will pay more for financing through a higher
interest rate and in many instances higher closing costs and
rather than having a 15 or 30 year fixed loan you will normally
get an adjustable rate mortgage than will go up after 2 or 3
years. Another risk for the homeowner is that because you are
purchasing a home with no money down you will have zero equity.
If the housing market goes into a slump and the value of your
home declines, you could end up with a mortgage for more than
your home is worth.
Tip - To find out further information about how to purchase a
home with bad credit or no credit visit your local real estate
company and they might be able to refer you to a bad credit
mortgage specialist. Another option is to simply do research on
the internet or use your local phone book but shop around
because like any business the mortgage business is very
competitive and more options you have the better position you
will be in to get the best deal possible.
Another advantage to this type of financing is that you are
generally not required to pay for private mortgage insurance
because private mortgage insurance is included in the higher
rate that you automatically receive due to having poor credit.
