HOW TO PURCHASE A HOME RIGHT AFTER BANKRUPTCY!

Qualifying for a home mortgage with a bankruptcy on your credit history requires time and money. Yet by understanding the requirements to get a mortgage after a chapter 13 or 7 bankruptcy and by carefully rebuilding your credit standing, you can apply and qualify for a loan and buy a home right after bankruptcy.

Before You Apply For A Mortgage- No matter what route you pursue to get an FHA or VA  mortgage with a bankruptcy filing in your past, you should begin immediately after the filing to repair your payment history and credit score. Remember in order to get your score up you need to positive reporting trade lines. And, the most negative information falls off your report after (3) three years, so your score and establish payment histroy via 12 months rental checks and credit cards are best. Purchase a secured credit card immediately and as a rule of thumb never go over 10% of the credit card limit.

What is a secured credit card? A Secured Credit Card A type of credit card that is backed by a savings or deposit account used as collateral on the credit line available with the credit card. The borrower deposits money held in the account backing the card. The limit will be based on the amount deposited in the account.

 

Increase Your Credit Score- The three main U.S. credit bureaus–Equifax, Experian and TransUnion–maintain your credit history. Using that history, plus its own proprietary equation, the Fair Isaac Corp. calculates your FICO credit score somewhere between 850 and 300 points. Anything above 700 points is good to excellent, with 720 or above earning you lower interest rates. Below 620 points is considered poor.

 Bankruptcy On Your Credit-A bankruptcy makes a major impact on your credit score and makes it much more difficult to qualify for a home mortgage. First, you can expect a drop of 100 or more points. That immediately takes you from excellent to poor. Then a record of the bankruptcy stays on your credit history for 10 years. A foreclosure stays on for seven years. Other negative information such as a late payment stays on for three years.

While obtaining a home mortgage with a bankruptcy on your record is difficult, you don’t have to wait 10 years to begin making a difference.
