I'm a working widow in my mid 50's. Have desired to own my home for
years and I think this time is a golden opportunity now that home prices
are so low. With a good credit, anyone may qualify for Gov. down payment
assist. program for up to 30/25K plus the 8k tax break until 12/09. I
believe there's a great opening for low income families to take
advantage and get a home cheaper than paying rent while it lasts! My
advise to all readers is: Guard your credit as your very soul, spend wisely
with your future in mind, asking for God's guidance always. There are a
lot of crafty wolves out to get you unless we get educated on what to look
out for and what serves our best interest.
I have been trying to refinance for some time even up under the obama's
loan modification plan. I have not had any success at all every seem to be
asking me for large amount of cash,I can tell that is a scam. If your
company can help me give me a call 678-777-8570
im looking n2 buying my 1st home and wondering what programs 2 apply for
and i dont have any actual credit i have never had any loans and i have a
bunch of inquiries on my credit report
BEFORE applying for a loan or refinancing and "PAYING" the
application fee, make sure you get all the facts! Find out what your income
and credit rating must be to qualify or what your home must appraise for to
be eligible. Some lenders will take your "Nonrefundable" $500
application fee without finding out if you qualify or giving you all the
facts. Also your credit rating can determine the interest rate you qualify
for. Find out what yours is and ask if it changes the rate they will offer.
When refinancing, unless you have know you have a lot of equity in your
home, talk to a local appraiser and get an idea what your home is worth.
The loan to value factor can determine if you get the loan and how much you
have to pay at closing. I have an excellent credit rating (over 750) but
the appraiser made several mistakes and, even though they were obvious
errors, the lender would not order another so my loan to home value ratio
was low and the amount to close was higher than I could afford.
im looking into purchasing a home, its not my first time and my credit is
not good, what hurts me is students loans and have 2 crd cards unpaid of
low amnts...i do have big down paymnt., and would like paymnts on 700-800.
