Get a Mortgage with Bad Credit

Question: I am wondering if I can get a townhouse or 3-bedroom apt with bad credit? If so, how?

Answer: Credit rating is one factor in making a loan decision. Given your bad credit, it will be more challenging to get approved for a loan.

Keep in mind, however, that if you have accumulated equity or have a sizable down payment, that could provide the cushion in an LTV(loan-to-value) calculation to get you approved. Also, your income will be a major (possibly the most important factor) as it will determine your DTI (debt-to-income ratio). Most of all, it cannot hurt to apply and see

what lenders think of your own situation.
