Do single people get any assistance when buying a home from the government?
I’m a single male veteran with no children. I want to purchase a home and was prequalified for 110k using my VA Home Loan. My girlfriend has a very high debt to income ratio and will likely file bankruptcy due to high credit card debt. I can’t buy anything with her in that shape. I don’t have a down payment, I do have the VA benefits. Home prices are more expensive than ever. How do I purchase a home on my own? In Phoenix, AZ the housing market seems out of reach and all that is left are small "apartment condos."
Is getting a mortgage after bankruptcy for building a ranch a possibility?
In April I filed Bankruptcy. I quit my job after having a devastating miscarriage and felt like there was no other way for us to survive financially. My husband’s job with the Army requires him to have a security clearance and with already shaky credit we decided it would be best for me to file alone. Most of the debt was in my name anyway, so I filed a Chapter 7 in April. Due to my lawyer’s incompetence it wasn’t discharged till December. We’ve been told that with my husband’s low score and my recent bankruptcy our only option is to wait 12-24 months to apply for a mortgage. This makes sense to me, but I’m hoping there is another option out there. We were foster parents for a time and hope to continue that next fall when my husband returns, but he’s stationed in central Texas where CPS prefers foster parents who own their home. We had established a small business in training and boarding horses and would like to continue that in our own back yard and grow from there.
I’ve contacted the three major credit bureaus to clean up any inaccuracy and I’ve been working at my job for almost a year. Our debt to income ratio is great and despite my bankruptcy my credit score is slightly higher than my husband’s, but still low. I’ve done all of our baking with US Bank in hopes of establishing a relationship with them and I have a low-limit credit card I use for gas and pay off monthly and a secured card I use for business expenses and pay off monthly. So, this is probably much more information than you needed, but it will hopefully be enough to help you answer my question. I would hate to spend another 12-24 months paying 0-800 a month in rent and 0 a month boarding our horses when that could be -30k we’ve paid toward a mortgage.
I understand that all actions have their consequences, but we’re a Christian family and hope that through the right network, education and of course prayer there may be some chance of purchasing our first home so my husband comes home from Iraq feeling accomplished and secure.
Is it possible to get a mortgage loan with poor credit?
I filed bankruptcy about 4 years ago and my credit has been raising slowly. I pulled my credit report and found two medical collections against me that were not mine. I contacted the proper people and they agreed to remove them. Only one was removed and I have been trying for 6 months to get the other off. I have a letter stating they both were to be removed, but when applying for a mortgage online they pull my credit report and see a collection against me.
My debt to income ratio is pretty low so I sould qualify for a home purchase loan, but I have been turned down by my credit union.
