Buying a house with bad credit?

scheeljason asked:


I don’t have poor credit but my wife’s is good. We are wanting to buy a house at the end of the year. We are have been slowly trying to fix my credit but it takes time. Will we be able to get a home lone? What can we do to ensure that we get good rates on a home lone even though only one of us has good credit?

talk with lender today. Have them pull a credit report and help you fix it. If you have judgements, pay them off TODAY.

On april 1, credit score requirements for mortgages are increasing. Act today.

I agree with the other responder but credit scores have already increased to over 600 with some lenders and 620 with other. The mortgage industry is changing daily as the money is getting harder to secured in the market and investors are wanting higher scores hoping these loans will not default.
I f you can buy now I would tell you to get with a mortgage professional in your area and get pre-qualified to buy now even if you only qualify on your wife’s income as there are some great buys out there with the foreclosures up in many areas and you may get more house now than you think
I am a mortgage banker in TN & KY
