😀Options For Buying A Home With Bad Credit Mortgage 😎😊

Can You Buy A House With Bad Credit in Arizona?    By Dennis Dahlberg Broker/RI 623-582-4444 M NMLS 1018071 AZMB 0923961 August 29, 2023  The best home loan option with bad credit depends on how low your score is. If your score is below 600, you probably should look into an FHA loan or VA loan. Of course, the best option is to work on repairing your credit score before you submit a mortgage application. While this is not the answer borrowers want to read or hear, it's the most practical and can save you thousands in interest payments. Not only will you have more mortgage options, but you might be able to get your loan with a lower income requirement and down payment. Of course, as stated above, if you have a score of 500 or below, you probably won't be able to do anything except wait until you increase it. Also, if you're looking to buy a house with a bankruptcy on your credit, you will need to wait at least 2 years before a lender will start considering you for a new mortgage with bad credit. You can take the necessary steps to grow your score by understanding the following: Payment history: Your payment history is responsible for 35% of your score. This is the main reason people are continually saying "pay your bills on time" regarding your credit score. Credit utilization: The amount of credit you are currently using is also known as your credit utilization and is responsible for 30% of your score. The more credit you're using, the higher your credit utilization, and the lower your score can become. It would help if you looked to keep your total credit usage under 30%. Age of credit history: This is most often referred to as your "average age of accounts" and is one of the few factors you have almost no control over. Your credit history is basically the age of your oldest credit account, new credit accounts, and the average ages of all the accounts on your credit report. The length of your credit history makes up 15% of your score. Credit mix/types of credit: When you look at your report, you'll notice that there are a few different types of credit on your report. Those can be revolving credit (like credit cards) or installment loans (like car loans or personal loans). Having a mix of credit is a good thing for your score, and it is responsible for 10% of it. Amount of new credit: Having an account less than 6 months old is usually considered having new credit. Your score will be impacted whenever you add a new account because it will give you a hard inquiry and decrease your average age of accounts. Be mindful when applying for new credit as it contributes to 10% of your overall score. Increase Your Available Credit Once you get a better handle on things and have started improving your score, increasing your available credit can help raise it a little faster. You can do this by either paying down balances or making a credit limit increase request. This effort helps increase your credit score because you will decrease your credit utilization, which is a huge factor in determining your score. Remember, it's best to have a higher credit score to buy a house and apply for mortgages. And guess what: Most credit card companies allow you to request as many increases as you like without it causing a hard pull on your credit. Add New Accounts (In Bulk) Adding new accounts also means you'll be increasing available credit and increasing your overall credit mix. Doing this in bulk is even better because it puts everything in the same time frame. Your inquiries will all fall off on the same day, any new accounts will age together, and you'll add more available credit to your report. This change also allows you to establish an even stronger payment history on your credit report. It usually takes less than 30 – 45 days to see the effects of adding bulk, new accounts to your report. Pay For Deletions One of the worst items you can have on your credit report is a collection. Collections show lenders that you owe money to someone and have not attempted to pay it back. Even if you pay the collection off, it can remain on your report as "Paid," which is better than having an outstanding collection. However, the best result which will help even more is to request the items be deleted from your credit report if you make a late payment. Before making a payment for deletions, make sure you get the transaction in writing. It will be like you never received that collection, thus increasing your credit score and giving lenders one less reason to decline you. Stay Away From Hard Credit Inquiries While getting an insurance quote won't affect your credit score, applying for any type of new credit will. Having too many hard inquiries on your credit is not a good thing. When applying for any type of financial transaction that requires a credit pull, always check if it's a hard or soft pull. Avoid doing anything requiring a hard pull close to when you apply for a mortgage. Find A Co-signer Depending on your mortgage, you may be able to qualify for a home loan with a co-signer. This addition can help bump you over the credit threshold as the co-signers income and assets will be considered along with yours. You may also qualify for a larger loan amount with a co-signer, even with bad credit, which can give you a bigger budget when shopping for a home. In most cases, a co-signer will only help lower your debt-to-income ratio, which by itself helps with qualification. Another person's income and assets will make it easier for you to afford for a higher monthly mortgage payment. Most of the time, the lowest median credit score of all borrowers on the loan is the one that counts. However, if multiple borrowers are getting a loan backed by Fannie Mae, the guidelines allow for lenders to average the median scores of the borrowers. This can mean the difference between qualifying or not getting the loan. For example, if you have a median credit score of 580 and your co-signer has a score of 720, you couldn't qualify with both incomes until recently. Now Fannie Mae policy, in many instances, is to average the scores, coming out at 650. You can get a loan. It's important to note that for the purposes of determining your interest rate and mortgage insurance cost, the lowest median score is still used, so your rate may be slightly higher. Additionally, the averaging of credit scores doesn't apply to every loan option. We encourage you to speak with your Home Loan Expert. The Bottom Line On Bad Credit Home Loans Applying for a home loan Having bad credit doesn't mean you can't enjoy the benefits of homeownership. Instead, it might just require additional research when looking for financing. With a loan backed by the government like an FHA loan, you can qualify for a mortgage even with a 500 credit score. It might be tempting to buy a home as soon as possible, but it's better to take the time to assess available options and interest rates while you start shopping for a loan.

Can You Buy A House With Bad Credit in Arizona?    By Dennis Dahlberg Broker/RI 623-582-4444 M NMLS 1018071 AZMB 0923961 August 29, 2023  It is entirely possible to buy a house with bad credit In Arizona. If for nothing else, credit reports are essentially a measure to suggest how likely a borrower is to pay their debts back—not a binary indicator of whether someone qualifies for a mortgage. That said, better rates and opportunities are awarded to those with higher scores. Learning how to buy a house with bad credit starts with undersigning what your current credit score is worth in the eyes of lenders. Here's a general scale of what borrowers can expect to receive concerning their current FICO Score: Less than 580: Theoretically, borrowers may qualify for a loan with a FICO score lower than 580 (down to 500). However, any borrowers with a FICO score between 500 and 579 will be limited to FHA loans. Since borrowers with a score lower than 580 represent the most significant risk to lenders, the Federal Housing Administration will require their loans to be insured. In addition, to qualify for an FHA loan, borrowers must put down at least 10% and pay off any unpaid collections and judgments. 580 – 669: Borrowers with a FICO Score between 580 and 669 may also qualify for an FHA loan but won't necessarily have to put as much money upfront. Mo borrowers in this range may qualify for an FHA loan with as little as 3.5% down. Perhaps even more importantly—for some—this is the range that qualifies borrowers for loans guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA loans). This is also the range borrowers may be able to apply for a conventional loan (if they meet other requirements). 670 – 739: Borrowers with a FICO Score between 670 and 739 may apply for conventional loans. Since they represent less risk than the previous categories, borrowers with a credit score in this area will have more options. 740 – 799: Borrowers who fall under this category are considered to have a very good credit score, which means lenders are more willing to extend them more credit at a better rate. Eight hundred or more: Anyone with a credit score of 800 or more represents the least amount of risk to lenders. Since borrowers in the category are the most likely to pay back their debts without defaulting, lenders and banks are more willing to extend larger amounts of credit at their most competitive rates. Home loans for bad credit holders do exist. However, the better the credit score, the more opportunities borrowers will gain access to Matt Prosory RI/MLO/Broker NCO Enterprises LLC Dba Setabay Private Hard Money 26731 N 90th Drive Peoria AZ 85383 Telephone: 623-582-4444 NMLS 2062278 NMLS 1118493 Equal Housing Opportunity.

Ways To Flip Houses With No Money & Bad Credit   By Dennis Dahlberg Broker/RI 623-582-4444 M NMLS 1018071 AZMB 0923961 August 29, 2023  Nowhere does it say an investor needs to fund a deal with their money. As it turns out, there are several options for funding a deal made available to today's investors, none of which will require you to use capital from your pocket. It's pretty easy to argue that using other people's money is the gold standard, at least when investing in real estate. If for nothing else, private lenders, hard money lenders, and any house-flipping investors interested in making money flipping homes are all more than viable options to seek out for your next deal. Here are a few options to help you learn how to flip a house with no money: Private Lenders More often than not, private lenders will serve as an investor's most significant funding source. After all, private money lenders are essentially banks without the endless hoops to jump through what most traditional lenders have become synonymous with. That said, Arizona private lenders are anyone with a few extra dollars in their pocket, a desire to invest, and a propensity to have their "ears bent." Perhaps even more importantly, they are not associated with a financial institution or a government-backed agency, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. That's an important distinction; they can make their own rules. With the ability to set their parameters, Arizona private money lenders will typically come at a steep price; it's not uncommon for their fee to rest somewhere in the neighborhood of six and 12 percent, but I digress. While the average private money lender rate is slightly higher than a traditional lender's, they can have the money in an investor's hand in a few days or even hours. Therein lies the most significant benefit of working with private money lenders: speed of implementation. The slightly higher interest rate is well worth the cost of admission if it means an investor can secure funding in as little time as possible. Not surprisingly, most investors will find that the speed at which they can make an offer is more important than the interest rate it comes with. On the other hand, traditional banks may take as long as 30 to 45 days to close on a loan or just long enough to let a deal slip through your fingers. Most private money lenders will require a bit of an insurance policy or, more specifically, a promissory note and a mortgage or trust deed on the subject property. Some private lenders will even want borrowers to take it further and guarantee the loan with their assets, but everything is negotiable. Hard Money Lenders In their simplest form, hard money lenders are lending companies that offer specialized short-term real estate-backed loans. Unlike their private money counterparts, they are affiliated with a company specializing in lending. However, Arizona hard money lenders typically offer shorter loan terms to avoid confusion with traditional lending institutions. Transactional lenders will offer loans up to 15 and 30 years, but Phoenix hard money lenders tend to stick with a six-month to two-year window. Besides their affiliation with an actual company, hard money lenders will operate much like private money lenders. Not only are their lending guidelines much looser than traditional institutions, but their rates are also slightly higher. Hard money lenders in Arizona usually ask for about 11 to 15 percent and about five points (additional upfront percentage fees based on the loan amount). However, it is worth noting that there are no universal Arizona hard money lender guidelines; each will be complete with a different set of criteria. New England Home Buyers experts, say, "You can fund all home repairs using hard money lenders. Unlike traditional bank loans, hard money borrowing is not contingent on your creditworthiness. However, fees and interest rates for hard money loans are frequently higher. Note that interest rates might range from 8% to 15%, and points can range from one to five". It is also important to note that most Arizona hard money lenders will usually only loan a percentage of the purchase price — typically around 70 percent, to be exact. That will require most investors to look elsewhere if they don't want to spend any money out of their pockets, perhaps a private lender. What Is The 70% Rule In House Fix and Flip Lender? Home flippers have a straightforward business model: they buy a house for a low price, renovate it, and then resell it for a more fantastic price. The purpose of a flipper is to buy low and sell high to maximize their earnings. When flippers are looking at real estate listings, the 70 percent rule can come in handy. It states that investors should pay no more than 70% of a property's after-repair value minus the repairs required to refurbish it. A property's after-repair value, or ARV, is the amount a home could sell for after being renovated by a fix and flipper. When purchasing a home to flip, investors must estimate how much the property will sell after renovating it. They can then multiply that figure by 70% and deduct it from the estimated renovation cost. The result is the most that flippers should be willing to pay for that home or property. The formula for the 70% rule is: After-repair value (ARV) ✕ .70 − Estimated repair costs = Maximum buying price The critical thing to remember is that the 70% rule is merely a guideline. Before purchasing a house, you should research market conditions, consult with real estate professionals to acquire a more realistic resale estimate, and meet with contractors to determine how much repairs will cost and which upgrades are required. How To Find Arizona Hard Money Lenders Hard money lenders are nationwide; you need to know how to find them. The easiest way to find them is by searching online for Arizona or Phoenix hard money lenders in your area. You will find results for companies with hard money loans that you can contact here. Attending real estate investor meetings is a great way to network with Arizona hard money lenders looking to work with potential borrowers. You can also reach out to other real estate professionals in your network who have experience working with these lenders or know of a contact you can contact.   Matt Prosory RI/MLO/Broker NCO Enterprises LLC Dba Setabay Private Hard Money 26731 N 90th Drive Peoria AZ 85383 Telephone: 623-582-4444 NMLS 2062278 NMLS 1118493 Equal Housing Opportunity.

Are Home Flippers Get Burned In The Housing Market?   By Dennis Dahlberg Broker/RI 623-582-4444 M NMLS 1018071 AZMB 0923961 August 29, 2023  After an abrupt end to the US housing boom, home flippers who were winning big just months ago are now racing to stem losses. Since January, the doubling of mortgage rates has crushed buyer demand and depressed values in investors' most favored locations, from Phoenix and Las Vegas to Jacksonville, Florida. It's a swift turnabout for flippers such as those stuck with homes to sell and loans to pay. Investors say, "It's a high-risk, high-reward business — and now we're facing the high risk, and I'm just praying for break even." Flippers with loans must repay them, and rising interest rates make carrying costs even more significant. Their troubles can reverberate across the market: Just as investors bid prices higher on the way up, they can accelerate the move downward. For most fix and flippers, the focus will be on selling, and the faster, the better. A small number will keep buying even though finding truly undervalued homes is near impossible and a guessing game of how far the market will drop. Home-flipping activity reached a record at the start of the year, making up one in 10 transactions, surpassing the levels in the last bubble, according to Attom, an Irvine, California-based data provider, which tracked sales of properties that previously sold within the last 12 months. While the share remains elevated, it fell to 8.2% in the second quarter of 2023. Conditions have deteriorated more since then, with mortgage rates near the highest level in 20 years. Demand has cooled particularly fast in Sun Belt markets such as Phoenix, Jacksonville, and Atlanta, pandemic boom areas where affordability has been strained. Fix and Flippers made up about 14% of transactions in those regions in the second quarter, but those shares sank in July and August, according to more recent monthly data provided by Attom. Phoenix property investors have had to slash prices after the slowdown caught investors. A lot of investors are getting hammered. Losses will grow, but even thin margins are a big problem when you're a full-time flipper. We have hard-money loans with 10% to 14% interest rates. It's a constant dance — do I wait it out, or does the price drop? Both cost money. For the most part, investors are paying back their loans, said Matt Prosory RI/Broker at Level 4 Funding, a hard-money lender in Phoenix, Colorado, and Texas. The default rate was 1.25%, which has climbed to 2.5% in the past two months. But it remains below pre-pandemic norms. Matt said fix and flippers with nicely renovated turn-key properties will stand out in this market. But it will be painful for those who overpaid, counting on rapid appreciation to make them money, he said. "Lots of them, in hindsight, were making bad buys. Anybody fix and flipping right now must look closely at the property pricing: Price it to sell. Today is not the time to get greedy.   Phoenix flippers are trying to put things in perspective. Flippers have purchased much more over the last two years than they will likely lose. Fix and Flippers are giving back the money they made. I ask my flippers if flipping is dead or at least dying. Here in the Phoenix, Arizona, metro area, I have watched the margin on deals become slimmer and slimmer. During the past few years, television shows and seminars have flooded the flipping market with people who believe flipping homes is an easy way to riches. Trustee auction prices are near MLS prices (retail), and I cannot believe what people are paying. I recommend that flippers take an extended vacation and return later to see how the market is going.   Matt Prosory RI/MLO/Broker NCO Enterprises LLC Dba Setabay Private Hard Money 26731 N 90th Drive Peoria AZ 85383 Telephone: 623-582-4444 NMLS 2062278 NMLS 1118493 Equal Housing Opportunity.
