• Millions of Americans dream about home ownership.
  In fact, home ownership is their number one
  financial goal. Often, a large number of the
  potential home owners fail to qualify for that
  home due to their low credit scores. They wonder
  if this low score will hold them back forever.
  Still, if they should find a source to qualify
  for a mortgage loan, the mortgage interest rates
  Florida charges are high with the lending company
  and a portfolio lender might not even consider
  them. The first step for the potential home owner
  is to start getting their financial house in
  order by following the steps provided here.

Credit Scores

• It is vital for the potential homeowner to
  realize that their credit score is extremely
  important. A low credit score should not deter
  their plans for home ownership. Instead, it
  should motivate them to strive to improve their
  credit score. Check your current credit score.

• First, it is important to note that the average
  credit score is around 600 to 700. A low credit
  score is anything that is below 600. Credit
  Scores range from about 300 to 850, depending on
  the source. If your credit score is hovering
  around 500 or lower, that is considered extremely
  low and you have some work to do to bring up that
  score.

Improving Credit Score

• Perhaps, your score is on the low side. The fact
  is that there are steps that you can take now to
  improve your credit score and start saving for a
  down-payment on your dream house.

6

• The first step is to start paying off your credit
  cards and eliminating most of your outstanding
  debt. It is also vital to keep a steady job and
  income. Make sure that you are not overextended
  financially because the mortgage lending company
  will hold this in consideration too.

Qualifying For Mortgage Loans

• It is also important to note that there are a few
  programs that accept people with low credit
  scores. For example, if your credit score is
  around 580, you might qualify for an FHA loan
  with a low down payment.

• Still, it is important to note that you might
  have to search around for a lender that will
  accept this type of low score. Searching for a
  lender that will accept such a low score will
  probably take a large chunk out of your time.
  Therefore, it might be a wise choice to work with
  a mortgage banker that will work closely with
  their client to help them find a source for a
  loan. Those that decide to look for a loan
  without the help of a professional mortgage
  broker, risk settling for a high interest loan
  higher than current mortgage interest rates
  Florida providers.

Handling Interest Rates

• Certainly, it is a guarantee that without the
  help of a professional mortgage broker, you might
  have to settle for much higher interest rates At
  this point, you must decide if you are really
  ready to take the risk with a higher interest
  rate or wait a bit longer before settling on a
  mortgage loan company.

• Perhaps, you work diligently and find a loan
  source on your own. Since, your credit score is
  low, you will probably pay very high interest
  along with a high down payment. The best course
  of action is to find a source that will guide you
  through the entire process and help you to find a
  source that will provide a loan to someone with a
  low credit score. The fact is that there are
  sources out in the real world that provide low
  interest loans without requiring a down payment,
  to people with low credit scores. This fact is
  just one of the many things that you should know
  about low credit scores.
