I have bad credit, what can I do?
If you have poor credit, there are 3 main factors that can help get you approved through alternative lending:
- Total Household Income – To make lenders feel more at ease having higher income can go a long way. Ensuring you are reporting all your income from side work or a rental suite can go a long way.
- Down Payment / Equity – For a refinance, having a larger amount of equity is key. Working with a broker that can help ensure you get the highest appraised value for your home can increase the total equity. If you are buying a new home, then having the largest down payment possible can get you approved. Instead of 5% down try for 20%.
- The Value and Type of Property – Selecting the right property is by far one of the largest factors. The value of the home is the collateral, and lenders look at this very closely. In additional, having a home that contains an income suite can alleviate many of the lenders concerns by having the extra income.
