How can you buy a home with a credit score at 551 and a foreclosure on your credit report?
With a higher interest rate. You will able to purchase a home with a subprime mortgage. What this means is your rate will be much higher than if your credt score was higher. It may be smarter to consolidate your debts and raise your credit score before purchasing a new home. Good luck! Henry Most conventional programs have a 580 credit score requirement for 100% financing for purchasing a home. At 551 you have the option of either contributung 5-10% down payment on a conventional loan or attempting to obtain an FHA insured mortgage which does not have credit score requirements. The foreclosure can also affect your down payment requirements and interest rate but that depends on the time that has elapsed. If you need any further information on either option feel free to contact me at 214)607-1445 or eloy@platinumfinancialonline.com.

How long will your credit be bad after a home foreclosure?
The damage to your credit score and how fast it recovers depends greatly on the rest of your credit history. Someone who has no other issues will rebound faster than someone who had other late payments or a lower score to begin with. If the foreclosure is the only issue, the score should begin to rise within a few months and may slowly recover to pre-foreclosure leves over the next couple years. The score is separate from the actual foreclosure reporting as a derogatory item as far as obtaining new credit. It is possible to have an acceptable or good FICO score with a dated foreclosure on your credit and still not be able to get credit because of the derogatory item. The foreclosure itself will report for 7 years but it's impact on your score will less as time goes by.

Yes. Foreclosure proceedings do not begin in most states until you are a number of months behind in payments. That will negatively impact your credit report. I had foreclosure proceedings begin on my home, but I was able to short sell the home before it went to auction. On my credit report it says, "loan was paid for less than amount owed".

What are the Repercusions of foreclosure?
My own home is in foreclosure (I am currently in the process of getting it out) and I can tell you from my own experience what the repercussions I have seen are. * My credit score is terrible (low 500's). It had been good (700's) before my foreclosure. * I cannot get any loans or credit. * The interest rates on some of my credit cards has jumped significantly.

Can you get a home loan after having a foreclosure?
That depends on your starting credit score. If you allow your home to be foreclosed or if you sign a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure. Home owners will take a hit of about 250 points on their FICO score. This means if a their FICO score before foreclosure was 680, it could dip as low as 430. A home owner who wants to buy another home after foreclosure will end up waiting about 24 months before a lender will offer any kind of interest rate that makes sense. During that time you must have a near perfect credit. The affect of a short sale on a home owner's credit report is much less damaging. The negative on credit may show up as a pre-foreclosure in redemption status, which will result in a loss of around 80 points from the FICO score. It can also simply show up as the loan was paid off and not affect your score at all. This means a short sale with a previous FICO of 680 could possibly see it fall to around 600 or it could remain the same. There are actually companies that will work with you for free to buy your mortgage away from your mortgage company and avoid your foreclosure. I would advise looking into this first.
How can foreclosure on my credit report affect me?
A foreclosure will affect your credit and credit score by decreasing your score, and potentially lowering your overall credit scoring method. If you have a trust deed and the vast majority of home sales in the United States involve a trust deed once the sale takes place the lender simply gets the home back. There is no deficiency owed. However if there is a second mortgage or most likely a second trust deed that lender will normally not bid at the foreclosure sale and you will owe that as an unsecured debt. If you have only one mortgage or trust deed you can simply let the home go back if you are unable to sell the home. If you owe a significant 2nd loan then you may need to consult with a bankrutpcy attorney to resolve that debt
