Buying Home
Bad Credit

Buying home bad credit lenders may refer you to HUD (Housing and Urban Development). HUD doesn't give you the loan directly. You'll need to go to a local HUD-approved lender, who will help you find out if one of HUD's programs is right for you.

If you're interested in a buying a home and you meet the credit qualifications, you may be eligible for a low down payment of 3 percent. On a $50,000 home, that's a down-payment of $1,500, compared with $5,000 - $10,000 for most conventional loans. You also can wrap your closing costs and fees into the mortgage.

HUD-insured loans are available in urban and rural areas for single family homes and for 2-unit, 3-unit, and 4-unit properties.

In some cases, HUD insures home loans for people who have had credit trouble and do not meet standard credit requirements. Down payments can be as low as 3 percent, and closing costs can be wrapped into the mortgage.

To get a HUD-insured loan, you need to apply to a HUD-approved bank, mortgage company, or savings and loan association for your mortgage.

Financial contracts are very confusing. Before signing yourself to a major long term commitment, have an attorney familiar with financing and taxes examine the documents and explain the details.

A good tax finance attorney can save you many times his fee over the years, not to mention possible legal problems.

Whether buying a new car, or a used car, or selling a vehicle; first check KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
