Candidates for Bad Credit Mortgages


The below items are the general guidelines that can be used as a rough rule of thumb when determining whether a consumer may be a candidate for a bad credit loan:


  • A credit score below 620
  • Two or more delinquencies of 30 days on a mortgage in the past 12 months
  • One delinquency of 60 days on a mortgage in the past 12 months
  • A charge-off or foreclosure within the past 24 months
  • Bankruptcy within the past 24 months
  • Debt to income ratio is over 50%
  • Inability to cover family living expenses in the course of a month

However, it is overall creditworthiness that is not just determined by credit scores. A couple of missing credit card payments does not mean that a consumer is doomed to receive double-digit interest rates. The only way to know where one stands is to apply for the loan and speak to a professional specializing in mortgage loans
