Single Digit Interest Rates for Bankrupts and Bad Credit Loans

Loans (Photo credit: jferzoco)Approach any person in the street and ask them to describe home loans for people in a bad credit or bankruptcy situation. I can say with almost full certainty that the majority of these people you speak to will say that a bad credit mortgage will incur huge interest rates that will render them impossible to pay off. That's because this has been the main message churned out by the media, and the big players in the world of mortgages - the major lenders and the majority of mortgage brokers. As you probably already guessed by visiting this website, it is possible for people with bad credit - even bankruptcy - to secure a home loan. The question is, just how good can the interest rates be?
How Low can you go?
Watch any television ads or read the marketing propaganda from the big players and you'll probably think low interest rates are a winner all the way. Sure, in some cases they may well be, however the interest rate alone won't determine if a home loan is right for a certain person. Factors such as the duration of the mortgage and the specific financial situation of the client also come into play. For the purposes of this article however, we are focusing on bad credit mortgages and the interest rates you can expect.
The fact is with bad credit, you won't be able to take advantage of the lowest interest rates on the mortgage market. The reality is that with bad credit, you are perceived by lenders to be somewhat of a risk. This said though, there are lenders out there who will help you, and provide an interest rate that won't break your budget. I know that reputable bad credit mortgage brokers can secure really good interest rate mortgages for clients with bad credit. There have been cases where specialist brokers have been able to secure loans for bad credit clients that have a 5.79% interest rate for the first year, and a 7.79% rate for the years following. Not bad at all! You too can secure a home loan with a good interest rate as well, even if you have bad credit. Now I'll tell you how to do this.
Securing Single Digit Interest Rates on a Bad Credit Home Loan
Here's my main advice if you are in a bad credit or bankruptcy situation and you are seeking a home loan: forget the banks and the majority of general mortgage brokers. They can't help you! To secure a home loan with single digit interest rates or any home loan at all, you will need to go to a reputable bad credit mortgage specialist. A professional worth their salt will work with you to get your financial house in shape, so you can be in the best position to take advantage of the very best loan for your circumstances. Single digit loans very well may be a possibility for you, however this will only have a chance of becoming a reality if you work with a true professional, experienced in the area of bad credit mortgages. Inexperienced or general brokers can't help you.

Who Said Bankrupts Can't Be Home Owners

Image by Getty Images via @daylife“If you’re bankrupt now or ever have been, there’s no way you can ever own your own home.” This has long been the belief of the greater public and we have the media, the big lenders and the majority of mortgage brokers to thank for it. With bankruptcy on the rise in Australia, along with bad credit, any wonder there are so many people around, feeling completely helpless when it comes to their home ownership prospects!
The Myths about Bankruptcy and Home Ownership
As a bad credit mortgage expert, I know what can and cannot be achieved when it comes to bad credit and home ownership. I am now giving you written permission to ignore all of the following regarding bankruptcy and home ownership, because they are myths:
•If you are a discharged bankrupt, home ownership is impossible: This belief that if you are a discharged bankrupt, you cannot get a home loan is baseless. Take one look at the wonderful things bad credit mortgage brokers are achieving and you’ll realise this in an instant. The banks will say no, but bad credit mortgage brokers will say yes – how can we help you?
•If you are still bankrupt, you cannot get a home loan: This is such a widely held belief, however if you enlist an experienced bad credit mortgage specialist, it is possible to secure a home loan even if you haven’t been discharged as a bankrupt. They are tricky to secure, however it is possible. If you aren’t able to secure a loan, even when working with a bad credit mortgage specialist, before you have been discharged, a good expert will help to get your mortgage ready. Experienced specialists do this all the time, and they can do it for you also!
•If you are or have been bankrupt, any loan offered to you will have incredibly high rates of interest: Many people believe that any loans that bankrupts can secure will be impossible to afford due to the high interest rate. This is a myth, however it is true that the interest rate on a home loan for a bankrupt will be higher than the bottom rate. Even so, it is possible to secure a loan that has a reasonable rate that will be affordable. A good team of bad credit mortgage brokers will work with people who are or have been bankrupt, to ensure that each client achieves financial control, so that when they do secure the loan, they can pay it off with ease and be well on their way to a financially secure future.
Even today when bad credit mortgage brokers are achieving so much for their bad credit, bankrupt clients, most people will still stand firm on their beliefs as stated above. Part of this is largely due to the fact that bankruptcy still has a significant stigma attached to it and the myths are literally coming out of the mouths of ‘experts’. People never think to question them, and simply take their word for it.
The Best Way to Secure a Loan if you are Bankrupt
First of all, you need to understand that bankruptcy isn’t the end. In my opinion, it is best for bankrupted people to see it as an opportunity to pursue financial control with fervour! The best way to secure a home loan if you are or have been bankrupted is to see an experienced bad credit mortgage broker. They deal with bankrupt clients all the time, and know who to talk to and how to turn the financial lives of clients around for the better. To secure a good home loan that you will be able to afford, forget the banks and the majority of mortgage brokers. They just can’t help you. Specialists can though, so dismiss the negative propaganda our media, big lenders and most mortgage brokers churn out so well! Be the proof that these messages are myths and talk to a bad credit mortgage specialist today!
