Post subject: Mobile home purchaseMy wife and I want to purchase a Mobile Home in CA. We don't have the greatest credit (each of us is around 590) but we have a good combined income around $95,000 annually. Could we still qualify for any of the types of mortgage loans? Post subject: types of mortgage loans for mobile homeHi Guest, Welcome to the forum.
Your credit score is not too good but your combined annual income is very good. so I think you can go for FHA loans as these are not a score driven program.
Check out the article at http://www.mortgagefit.com/mobile-homeloan.html and get an idea about the various types of mortgage loans available for purchasing mobile home.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry
Post subject: bk affects your chances to get any of the types of mortgagesHave a recent foreclosure and bankruptcy and want to know how this affects the ability to purchase a home with the help of different types of mortgages. Post subject: foreclosure affects getting various types of mortgage loansHi lilcash, Welcome to the forum.
How would you face the foreclosure and bankruptcy together? Can you please explain your situation a bit more?
BTW it will have a huge negative effect on your credit report. It will drop your credit score by 250 to 300 points and will remain on your credit report for 10 years. So you may not get approved for any program out of the different types of mortgages in coming 3 or 4 years. From now on pay all the bills and payments on time and try to improve your credit score.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry

Post subject: closing datemy husband has this guy that is refinancing on our home and we are getting some cash put in our pocket. We can't figure out what is taking so long, to find a processor and lender. We have been waiting since Sept. 2008. We had been told for 4 weeks now, that we will close next week (repeat). We are getting very frustrated. Any suggestions about this situation. Post subject: CRT, One of two things is happening, either you have a mortgage person who doesn't know what they are doing, or your loan pkg is a challenging one.
If your scores are below 580, you have open collections, or recent judgments, have an unstable work history, or late pymts on credit over the past 2 years...then it is probably a credit issue. If this is not the case, then it is the mortgage person.
