Doolittell asked:


My husband makes pretty good money and we are trying to reestablish our credit by making payments on a car. Most of the things on our credit reports are for old credit cards that only had low limits and medical bills. We live in a mobile home right now that is supposed to be a buy for program, but the lender closed and sold it to another company and they say they don’t know anything about it. The actual loan is in my husband’s sister’s name, but we make all the payments and even pay the taxes every year on it. We also carry the insurance for it. I don’t know if a home lender would consider this information when we try to appy for a mortgage? We’ve also considered maybe owner financing homes, but we want to live in a rural area and have some acreage and I don’t know if there are many people selling their homes like this in these areas? I hope that someone can help me.

My credit isn’t bad or fair. It’s good, just below excellent. How good does your credit have to be and what other factors are key to successfully obtaining a home mortgage loan?

I just finished building my house and I have no mortgage or anything as I had enough cash to buy the land and build outright. But, I have no money left to landscape and have some medical bills I would like to pay off. Can I get a home equity loan or line of credit on my house? Which is better?

If someone dies and they were the only one on a 2nd home mortgage, will going in default ruin spouses credit?

My friend’s Mom past away and she was the owner (alone) of my friend’s home. Now she can’t afford the mortgage and is moving. Will the father be responsible & will it effect his credit if the loan goes into default, even if he did not sign for the home? He can’t afford it either, the family has huge medical bills.

I need money for home improvements, and I also want to get my mortgage payment lower.

I bought this home in march 07, and I have made minor improvements, but the house needs improvements.

If there are any real estate pros out there with some good practical advice please expound on this topic.

Also, I have paid off some credit card debt since I bought the house, so I think my credit rating is better.

QNA asked:


Where is the best place to look? I asked my credit union, but they don’t do “subprime mortgages”.

My credit score was on a steady climb until it recently plateaued at 607. I don’t have any recent delinquencies (last late payment reported was in 2005). My income has significantly increased to a decent level. I’m afraid that maybe the credit score is something that only time can fix,,,?

Will it affect my credit score and borrowing amount for future loans if I’d be a co-signer for a student loan?

I’ve just applied as a cosigner for my son’s college loan. Will it affect my credit score and the amount I’d be eligible to borrow in the future mortgages and home equity loans? (I have a perfect credit history and some mortgage-free properties)

A asked:


Hello,

I have bad credit at the moment, just got married and I’m trying to consider buying a house. I heard that if I put down 20% most banks will give me a loan? Just not sure how true is this? My wife has decent credit and we have the 20% to put down but we don’t want to get our hopes up. Any good mortgage company to work with people with bad credit in Florida?
