Credit Problems? With a Subprime Mortgage Lender, Poor Credit is Not a Problem


Have you been turned down for a home loan recently because you have a bad credit history? You may want to consider applying for home financing with a subprime mortgage lender. A subprime mortgage lender is one who specializes in providing financing for people who are difficult for most mortgage companies to finances, it could be because of a low credit score, hard-to-prove income or a combination of those factors with no money to put down.

It can be much easier to get approved for a loan through a subprime lender than with other mortgage loan programs offered by banks and credit unions. The only downside to a subprime loan is that the fees can be higher at closing and the interest rate will be higher. It is smart to apply with a few subprime lenders to compare interest rates. Yes, you will have to pay a higher rate, but make sure the rate is still reasonable. Interest rates are low right now, take advantage of that and get a rate that is reasonable.

Also, remember that you can always refinance later at a lower interest rate when your credit score has improved. Just make sure that there isn't a pre-payment penalty on the loan before you plan to refinance. Most subprime mortgage loans do have a 6 month to 2-3 year pre-payment penalty, meaning that you have to pay a large fee, usually 6 months worth of interest, before you can pay off or refinance the loan. You can expect to have a pre-payment penalty, just make sure you get the shortest amount of time you can before you can pay it off.

Consider applying with a company that will provide you with multiple offers, that will help you be sure you are getting the best interest rate and one of the top subprime mortgage brokers.
