Bruised Credit, Bad Credit, No Credit?  Credit alone will not keep you out of your Dream Home!  We have many programs designed especially for you!

A bankruptcy or foreclosure filing delivers a devastating blow to your credit and FICO score, but it doesn't mean you have to wait 10 years before you can qualify for a mortgage. Many consumers who have filed for bankruptcy have been able to obtain a mortgage after only 1 day, although it is often at a higher interest rate than someone qualifying for a prime or "A-paper" home loan.

Even if you had a bankruptcy yesterday, you can still get up to 100%.  Doesn't matter if it was a chapter 7 or chapter 13!  APPLY HERE!

While credit card companies may care about what happened before you filed for bankruptcy, many mortgage lenders are more interested in your recovery what you've done since your bankruptcy filing. It won't happen over night, but here are some tips and things to keep in mind when you inquire about an Indiana mortgage with a tarnished credit past:

Give explanations. No Indiana mortgage lender or Indiana mortgage broker is going to ignore the fact that you've filed bankruptcy and he or she will likely want to know the cause of the filing. Your mortgage lender or mortgage broker will be particularly interested in whether the same situation could happen again. Your chances of being qualified are much better if your bankruptcy was caused by a single event such as a loss of employment or a death in the family, than if it was the result of just spending too much.

If the bankruptcy resulted from a single event, it is important to show your lender paperwork describing the incident, such as the layoff notice or death certificate. You will also want to bring in court documents to indicate when the bankruptcy was filed.

Demonstrate good money habits now. Many people who file bankruptcy swear off credit altogether, however, it is important to reestablish your credit rating. Get a secured credit card or take on some sort of loan furniture, a car or a major appliance to demonstrate that you are able to make timely payments. Make sure you are making other payments (utility bills, cell phone, etc.) on time as well. You won't turn things around in a year but your credit score will improve over time.

Dispute any credit report errors. There is no need to add to your troubled credit history with errors on your credit report. Get a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. If you encounter any errors, inform the CRA in writing what information you believe to be inaccurate and request deletion or correction.

Let your Mortgage Broker Shop around for a lender. There are many alternative lending sources also known as B and C lenders or subprime lenders that provide mortgage financing for someone with a bad credit history who is considered a high risk borrower. We even have home loan programs for no credit score Indiana Mortgages. These types of lenders reduce their risk in making loans by charging borrowers a higher interest rate and sometimes additional fees. In fact, many lenders have comeback loan programs for people recovering from bankruptcy that often include credit reports, credit counseling referrals and consumer education. You will also want to seek advice from a reputable mortgage banker who can review your situation and let you know what options exist.  We will also shop those Indiana Mortgage Lenders for you to get you the best rate available!

Save your money. Lenders may be more willing to loan you money if you've saved up a considerable amount of money for a down payment.

Live within your means. Even subprime lenders wont risk loaning you money for an opulent ocean front mansion. Think small when the time comes to look for real estate. Smaller homes often mean smaller mortgages.
