Poor Credit Second Mortgage Loans
When bills start to pile up too high, it can be difficult to
keep up with payments. One option to solve the issue of having
too many bills is to seek a second mortgage loan. However, if
your credit is less than desirable to lenders for obtaining a
loan, be assured that hope is not out of reach. By searching for
different resources, you may find that you qualify for a poor
credit second mortgage loan.
Poor credit second mortgage loans can be the saving grace to
what could may currently feel like a financial disaster. By
refinancing your home and cashing out on its value and its
equity, you can receive funds to pay off high interest credit
card bills, consolidate all other debt such as smaller loans,
pay for a child's college education, finance a business, and
more.
Most anyone with bad credit, no matter how severe, can receive a
poor credit second mortgage. Even individuals or couples with a
history of bankruptcy more than ten years ago can qualify for
such a loan. Your credit rating and scores will play a vital
role in qualifying for the poor credit second mortgage loan, and
your interest rate will be configured with your scores.
Generally speaking, according to Platinum Concepts, Inc. in
Madison, Wisconsin (www.platinumconcepts.net), a loan is
obtainable with a credit score of 550 or higher.
Pros of Obtaining a Poor Credit Second Mortgage Loan
1. Poor credit second mortgage loans offer people with low
credit ratings and scores the opportunity to qualify for a loan
and obtain funding when they would not otherwise qualify for a
conventional loan.
2. A poor credit second mortgage can offer a way to consolidate
debt and pay off outstanding bills, while at the same time,
offer a lower, more affordable monthly payment. Considering the
reasons why credit scores are low, extravagant purchases are not
recommended on poor credit second mortgage loans. Using the
money wisely will help you rebuild your credit.
3. Reducing debt and paying the monthly installment on time for
a poor credit second mortgage loan can offer an individual the
opportunity to improve credit ratings.
4. A poor credit second mortgage loan often offers flexibility
in regards to interest rates, payment options, and the term of
the mortgage.
5. The interest for most poor credit second mortgage loans is
tax deductible.
Cons of Obtaining a Poor Credit Second Mortgage Loan
1. If the poor credit second mortgage loan is not paid or
defaults, you are at risk of losing your home. Payments need to
be made consistently and on time.
2. The interest rate is usually higher for a poor credit second
mortgage loan than for a first mortgage or other conventional
second mortgage loan.
3. You are at a much higher risk of worsening your credit
situation if the monthly loan
installments for the poor credit
second mortgage are not paid on time or are missed.
Poor credit second mortgages can be obtained from lenders
specializing in loans for individuals and couples with poor
credit. Research lenders carefully, and before signing on a
loan, read everything, including the fine print. Make sure you
understand everything entirely, and that there are no hidden
costs involved. If you're having problems finding a lender, a
mortgage broker may be able to offer assistance in getting a
poor credit second mortgage loan. Mortgage brokers, such as
Platinum Concepts, Ditech, E-Loan, Lending Tree, and others,
generally work with hundreds of different lenders. A broker will
"shop around" on your behalf, and find a lender that offers the
lowest possible interest rate based on your particular credit
situation.
Mortgage brokers are available locally and nationally, and can
be found in your local yellow pages, as well as on the world
wide web. Choose a broker carefully, though. If you know of
another individual who has used one, or know of one that you
could meet with personally and check their references, this is a
great precaution to consider. Examine a mortgage broker in the
same way you would any other lender, and make sure that your
loan needs will be met with the loan. Don't settle for something
that just doesn't seem right.
After obtaining a poor credit second mortgage, use your money
wisely. Consider the loan an extremely fortunate "fresh start"
with your finances. Budget your income carefully so that loan
payments can be made on time. Falling behind on even one payment
will drop your credit scores significantly, and this poor credit
second mortgage loan is meant to do just the opposite, namely,
offer you the opportunity to rebuild your credit and increase
your credit scores. Make your payments on time, and don't miss
any payments or your home ownership may be at risk.
To avoid this risk, change your financial future with the poor
credit second mortgage. Don't overspend, and don't make any
purchases unless the item is necessary. If you have credit
cards, destroy all but one, and use that one card only for
emergencies, such as unexpected auto repairs, and pay off the
card in full before using it again.
Start saving money with each paycheck you receive, and don't
touch the money that you deposit into the savings account. Even
if it's just a few dollars a week, strive to build your savings
and leave that money alone except in the event of an emergency.
