Question by ed h: How long before I can reapply for a home loan?
I was recently told because of two items on my credit report that I would not be able to get a home loan, they said once they were off, to reapply. If I pay them off next week, could I reapply then, or do I have to wait months/years for them to go off my report? We have found the perfect home, and don’t want to miss the opportunity.

Getting Started on a Home Loan

Getting Started on a Home Loan

Some of the best advice I can give for getting a home loan is to start early.  I’ve included some information in this article to help you get started.  Even if your time frame for buying a home is a year away, it’s a good idea to talk with a home loan officer and find out if there is anything you can do to improve your financial status in the mean time.  He or she may recommend ways to improve your credit score, and many are trained to help you increase your buying power well before it’s time to buy.

 

I have included a list of everything you’ll need to get started on your home loan.  These requirements are standard for any lender.  Depending on the lender, you may not need all of this information upfront, but they’ll request the following at some point during the approval process:   

 

1.  Pay stubs for the most recent 30-day period.

2.  Bank statements for all your accounts (checking, savings, 401K, etc.) for the last 2 months.

3.  W-2 tax statements for the past 2 years (if you’re self-employed or have a commission-based income, you’ll need to provide personal and business tax returns for the past 2 years along with your most current year-to-date profit/loss statement).

4.  Employer info (name, phone number, and address) for your most recent 2 years of employment.

5.  Address(es) for your residence in the past 2 years (if you’ve rented, you’ll need to give your landlord’s name and phone number).

6.  Money for a credit report and appraisal (which is usually 5). 

 

When you’re ready to talk with a lender, be sure to use a good name with a long-standing track record.  One of the most important parts of choosing a lender is usually the last thing people think of.  Make sure that the lender you choose is actually going to have the money at the closing table.  Believe it or not, this has been one of the biggest problems over the past year – and especially in the past few months, since lenders are really having to minimize their risk in giving out loans.  Work with a bank that closes on the loans they approve or commit to. 

 

One way to make sure your loan will close is to make sure you’re working with an in house underwriter.  This means that when he/she approves a loan, it has already been signed off on and approved.  Some home loan officers have to send off the loan to get approved.  This is a major benefit of one of the lenders we personally use.  Everything is local – even the funding is local.  Nothing has to be sent off.  Everything is done in house. 

 

When any lenders takes your loan application, they have roughly 300 products (or loan packages) that you may qualify for.  Using this large inventory, they find the best product for you.  Some brokers have to go to another company to find their products.  When this happens, many brokers look for who’s going to pay them the most for sending their loan to a buyer.  In these cases, the brokers are not finding what is truly the best loan product for you. 

 

If you need recommendations for lenders, your real estate agent should be able to give you several recommendations of good ones to use.  We work with so many lenders that we have a short list of home loan consultants we trust – and consultants who can give you credit counseling.  So, if you have any questions, feel free to contact your real estate agent.  And, know that it’s never too early to start building your credit for buying a home!

How long can a bank keep a delinquency on a credit report?

August 31st, 2010 by Bank Loan | 1 Comment | Filed in Bank

Question by cmw99us: How long can a bank keep a delinquency on a credit report?
Back in 1997, I ran into some financial trouble and took out a loan for the balance on a mobile home I once owned. I defaulted on the loan that year, but it is still on my credit report. I wrote letters to the bank and to the credit reporting agencies, and this is still on my credit report. This is the only bad credit/delinquency I’ve ever had. I would appreciate any suggestions.

How to Get Instant & Quick Loan Approvals

One of my friend ask me about how to obtain instant loans with good rate of interest. This article is based on field research as well as talking to experienced loan providers and agencies.

As the government changing its policy now and then, the financial planning has to be changed accordingly. In last year or two people are getting cost effective loans with easy credit facility. Lenders are tightening up the criteria for approvals on loan and credit documentation and rate of interest continues to rise.

With the current scenario people are taking a guidance of credit agencies or financial consultants for getting fast loan approvals. They want to know the criteria how to move towards there banks or other financial loan providing agencies how to get loans easily. There are some of the tips which are useful for you to get loans from bank easily.

 The main intention of this article is give you better opportunity to get loans from desired banks or other loan providers.

Firstly you need to assure your present credit status. If you have better credit score the banks or other loan providers will happy to give you loan on better rate of interest. This credit score will give you the chance to know you are going to obtain loan or not. There are many online agencies available which provide you the exact credit status. This will enable you to know about your credit score it is good or bad. This is also important to check the status if you think your credit score is good one. There may be a chance of clerical mistakes against the records or may be the previous resident at your residence had a poor credit. If their communication mail is still linked to the address, this will have a chance of getting poor credit report.

Once you are assured about your financial status according to credit rating, you can get large number of lenders providing you a loan. Some banks judge your application from your salary & superb credit score. The chances will get dim if the bank considers those applicants who may have credit problems earlier. If your position is good and you are able to choose among different alternatives then it is very important for you to research about the banks, loan providers or loaning agencies who offer you best rate of interest on your loans. A fixed rate of interest is far much superior than variable so that you can plan accordingly for long future benefits, reminding that the amount will stay same at each deposit until it is fully repaid.

If you find good loan providers which is suitable according to your financial needs then you have to go through there provisions and terms of loans. Many lenders charge additional money on payment protection. You are expected to pay a little monthly fee, but such kind of protection can be invaluable if you become sick or you lost your job or unable to find job. In such situations this security will cover the monthly repayments for the period of the time you are not capable to work.

You must go through some of important points such as if you unable to make payment in any month what will happen. What would be your responsibilities of lender in such situations and what you want to be?

Lastly, you must talk to your advisor before going to complete your formality in banks and afterwards. They will provide you best assistance on your financial needs matching with lenders profile. If in case your file is rejected they will provide guidance for other solutions which will help you in get better credit score and getting best interest rates with successful credit applications.

Question by monalisa_2: Will a federal student loan impede and or hinder me while I am trying to purchase a home.?
I am going to return to college, but have never applied for a student loan. In the past I paid for my classes and books. I am going to buy my first home, and I am wondering if a student loan would affect my credit? I am a first time home buyer.

Best answer:

Answer by Found-1
If you have missed payments in the past or if your debt to income ratio is too high, it could hurt you. All your past student loans will be on your credit report separately so at first glance it will look like you have a ton of outstanding loans. Which i guess is true. If you took out private loans with those godawful maximum amounts, you could be in serious trouble.

Hubby and I have bought 2 houses and a condo on credit, my loans and his were both listed. We never missed a payment in the 12 years we paid on them though.

Refinancing Your Auto Loan

August 31st, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans

Refinancing Your Auto Loan

Many people want to refinance auto loans and wonder if it’s possible to lower payments or even

qualify for a new loan. One benefit is the consumer might be able to lower payments. It takes a few steps but the process can be pretty easy to accomplish. Lenders want to get new business so they will do everything they can to help you out.


The first step would be to gather all of your bills and see what you can afford. If you have no problem affording a new loan the next step would be to gather a credit report. If you can’t afford more than you are paying or need to pay less you may be able to accomplish this. You might be able to consolidate some bills to reduce your overall debt.


Check to see how much your car is worth. The internet is a good place to search to see what you might expect the dealership to give you for your car. If you put a lot of money down on your initial loan you maybe able to borrow more when you refinance to pay off another debt. In contrast if you owe more on your car than its worth you might have to put some money down in order to finance. There is always an option of finding someone to co-sign for you.


Next if you want to see what your payments will be you can get an auto quote. You can go to your local bank and apply for a loan. Usually the bank will have terms visible to all customers. Check the special rates online as well as in person. Also, check online for an auto loan quote. Many times you will be able to get a few different quotes by submitting one form. Be sure not to get too many quotes as each time your credit is pulled it will count against your credit score.


You may be able to get a new loan with the same payment and have some extra money to pay off some other debts. This could help reduce your payment and get a better interest rate on other debts. Be sure to check the length of the term to make sure you are comfortable with it. If you are able to pay off some credit cards or other loans with a new refinance it can improve your credit rating overall.

Is There An Easy Way to Get a Home Loan with Bad Credit?

Is There An Easy Way to Get a Home Loan with Bad Credit?

Today’s consumers are empowered with high speed online Internet access. Finding a bad credit home loan is much easier than it used to be.

It’s a myth that only those with good credit can get home loans. You can get home loans with bad credit, too. There are many companies both online and offline who specialize in these kind of loans. However, the better the credit report, the lower is the interest rate on the home loan.

These points will be important when applying for a home loan with bad credit. All homes have to be appraised by an appraiser, who will ensure whether the property is enough to cover the loan amount.

The bad credit home loan consists of two parts. The first part is the down payment and the second part is the monthly payments. This follows a point system. A point is 1% of the loan amount. If you are charged 1 point on 0,000 loan, you have to pay 00. If you are charged 4 points, then you have to pay ,000 and so on.

Interest rates changed periodically are dependent upon the US and the global economy. It pays to shop around for rates. Lenders may offer lower interest rates and more points or less points and a higher rate of interest. More points and a lesser rate of interest would mean that your initial down payment will be high. And the interest payments will be much less or vice versa.

The term for the interest payments can also differ from company to company. It can be for 10, 15, 20 or 30 years also. There are adjustable interest rates available. These increase or decrease with the general interest rate prevalent in the market. However there are caps in place, so that the rate doesn’t fluctuate violently.

There are loans available for those who wish to construct a house and not purchase one. In that case payments can be made according to work progress of the house. After the house has been completed, it can be converted into a traditional mortgage loan.

To get a bad credit home mortgage loan, you can apply online for the pre-approved loans. By applying for these loans, you can know your budget and can find out how much you can borrow, instead of focusing on whether the bad credit home mortgage loan would be approved or not.

Finally, a very important thing to keep in mind while applying for a bad credit home mortgage loan is that you must fill out the application form correctly. Before submitting the application, you must make sure that all the information provided by you is correct and is spelled correctly. If while processing, your information cannot be matched, then it may lead to a delay in the approval of the application, or sometimes, even in the rejection of the application for your bad credit home mortgage loan.

With a some research, education and time spent looking into the best way to get a home loan with bad credit, it can be well worth your while. You can save yourself a lot of hassle, time and money in the process.

What Is Direct Student Loan Consolidation?

August 30th, 2010 by Bank Loan | No Comments | Filed in Loans
student loan

What Is Direct Student Loan Consolidation?

Student loans are two-edged swords. Without them, you couldn’t pay for that degree you worked so hard for. On the other hand, without them, you might actually get to keep the amount you pay out every month for yourself. You might get to pay your other bills on time, afford a more reliable car, or find a better place to live.

If repaying your student loans is challenging your budget, or worse, putting your finances – and credit rating – in the red, you might want to think about a direct student loan consolidation.

With a direct student loan consolidation, you exchange your outstanding student loans with their higher interest rates for one loan with a more manageable, fixed interest rate.

A direct student loan consolidation may be the answer to more than one problem. If you have struggled to meet your monthly payments and in fact have used every option for deferment or forbearance your current loans offer, or find yourself about to default on your loan, a direct student loan consolidation can mean a fresh start. A new loan is often a clean slate.

Not only do deferment and forbearance options become available in case of need again, but often direct student loan consolidation gives you a much lower interest rate – as much as 0.6 percentage points – thereby lowering your monthly payments. And when you consolidate those student loans under a new loan, those loans show up on your credit report as paid off, and your credit score benefits.

There are four plans for repaying a direct student loan consolidation that you many want to investigate as you consider which is best for your needs.

The first plan is a Standard Repayment Plan and gives you a fixed monthly payment for up to 10 years. The Extended Repayment Plan also sets fixed monthly payments, but the repayment period is set between 12 and 30 years, according to the total amount you borrow. In this plan your payments are lower because they are spread across a long period of time. Keep in mind, however, that making payments over longer periods of time means you will end up paying out a larger total amount.

The third option is the Graduated Repayment Plan. This is another direct student loan consolidation plan with a repayment period between 12 and 30 years, only in this plan the amount of your monthly payment will increase every two years.

Finally, if you have a job and family, the Income Contingent Repayment Plan may be what you’re looking for. This plan sets a monthly payment based on your annual gross income, family size, and total direct student loan debt, and spreads those payments over a period of 25 years.

While direct student loan consolidation may be the best way to get on top of student loans for some, if you are close to paying off your existing loans, it may not be worth it in the long run to consolidate or extend your payments.

However, if you are still seeing loan payments coming out of your pocket well into the future, consider the direct student loan consolidation seriously. If you consolidate your loans while you are still in school, you may qualify for a 6-month grace period before repayment begins. You may find you will be able to keep any subsidies on your old loans.

Lower your monthly payments, improve your credit rating, gain control of your loans, and give yourself peace of mind about the future with a direct student loan consolidation.
