Financing for somewhat poor credit?

Rm86
Home Buyer
Canyon Lake, TX

Due to some unfortunate circumstances in the past year my credit could be better. However, I am and have been self-employed for around 2 years. Will I qualify for any kind of loan? I will be a first-time home buyer but I'm tired of throwing my money away. Any advice on lenders to look for? I do not want to pay huge interest and I do have some money down. Thank you in advance.

You need to contact a mortgage broker direct if your credit scores are below 620 probably not unless you place huge down payment purchase a home

I do credit repair consultant across the country happy to review your file, It depends on many issues.

IF your credit score is above a 620 it would require 3.5% or more as a down payment your entire file would need to be reviewed.

FIRST ANSWER

There are a few ways to go about finding a reputable lender. Ask friends for referrals or call a successful real estate agent in your area for 2-3 recommendations. It is always a good idea to get a "good faith estimate" from more than one lender to compare costs and offers for financing. You may also find a connection with one lender over the other which can make your transaction more smooth.

Not able to qualify? Ask a reputable lender for credit repair, look for owner financing properties or a rent to own situation.
