My husband and I want to apply together for a mortgage, his credit score is excellent, mine is non-existent since I have been in the US for only 3 years and have used credit cards related to my husband’s account only. Is there still a way for me to be on the mortgage?
Will my income be considered as part of our assets when we apply?

Most of the mortgage companys I have tryed will not give me a mortgage because I have a credit score under 400. They say they will not help anyone with out having a credit score over 500.

I have a fourclouser on my credit and a really old credit card bill that I refuse to pay. Other then that every thing else on my credit report has been paid. Some late some on time.

I have tryed every mortgage company on line and the bank in my town.

I DO NOT want to get a credit card to ‘fix’ my credit history. I have had those and I do not do well with them. Or a store card either. Or a gas card.

I think things will stay on my credit report for up to ten years but I would like to know if there is a mortgage out there that will give me a mortgage now. Yes I have thought about rent.
Adam.. What is a a self certify, tracker based mortgage ?
ok OPEN:
Why jump all over me. I was just asking for help. I DO NOT THINK I KNOW IT ALL.

YES I have had a credit card and I have come to learn that I do NOT need one. I have a debit card Visa card and that is ALL i need.

How can I fix my credit with out findone someone to help me out. Things happen, I am NOT the only one that has gotten in this postion.
I want to respond to why I refuse to pay off the credit card that is on my credit report. I had a credit limit of 300$ It got up that high and I decided that I did not need it any more so I canceled it.

Come to find out a few months of ‘paying’ on it to pay it off the credit card co. was still charging ‘finance fees’ to it. after talking to them they informed me they could not completly cancel it untill it was at 0.

I told them the reason I canceled it was cause I could not affored it. To add charges to it would not help me pay it off.

I have spoke to other credit card co and have been told they can stop charging to it it they want.

The credit card bill has gone from 350$ to over 15 hundred dollars.

Pride or not I find this unprofessional and rude and that is why I refuse to pay it.

If they would agree I would pay the original 350$ if they would take off the rest of the ‘Charges’

I own a piece of rural land in Southern California (Tehachapi) and I’d like to build my home there. Problem is, I’m currently homeless and living with AIDS, and my credit score is in the mid-600′s. I see all these ads on the net for mortgages at all-time lows, like, say, 0,000 for under 9 per month. I don’t want to spend more than 0 a month on a mortgage. I do have a job that would allow me to pay that much.
The home I want to build is a geodesic dome house, kit cost around ,000. The well, pump, and tanks will be about ,000 to ,000. Electrical generating system will start around ,000 to ,000.
I figure on doing most of the construction myself (with friends and a couple of professionals helping) and I think I can do it for around 0,000.
Is there anyone who can tell me if I’m being realistic to hope for a mortgage or construction loan for 0 per month?

I plan to start a career as a loan officer and want to do business primarily on the internet, from home, as well as get the training on-line and/or by phone. I’m thinking about joining either Apex Lending or Premier Mortgage. Trancontinental Lending Group is also an option. Anyone have feedback regarding these companies? I’m really leaning towards Apex Lending because I like the business structure, however there is a one-time 0 fee for purchasing software that allows you to run the business on the internet and from home. The software has the 1003 appl, credit score/info viewing, matches programs to client info, manages your accounts, funds, can do business in atleast 20 states, etc. Is having to pay this fee a norm when getting started, if so, are there companies that have a lower start up fee? I have taken a 24-hour mortgage broker course in Florida recently, but haven’t taken the licensing exam yet. I will need a mentor for the first few deals and would like to get started soon.

I could use the help of potentially reworking my mortgage to be more affordable. It is possible for me to get by without doing so. If I do call my mortgage holder and rework my mortgage for a reduced interest rate or reduced principle how does that affect my credit score?

I want to refinance my mortgage and I want to start a home business before doing so. It would have no employees and I would still keep my current job. My home business will not require any due balances or credit lines to increase my debt. Would mortgage companies see the worry that I would quit my regular job or would they trust that I would maturely handle the mortgage payments? In other words, would I have no problems getting refinanced under these conditions. My credit score is about 650 and I’ve been at my current job for 1 1/2 years but have had steady employment for a long time. I have also paid my mortgage on time for 12 months.
The reason I am asking is because what I will be doing requires a vendor license. Therefore, in my ssn, it would show the business based at my home address.
I am actually looking for a new mortgage loan, not a home equity loan or personal loan and I don’t need to borrow to pay debts.
