How A Bad Credit Mortgage Works - part 2
by John Cassidy
Sometimes, in order to get you a lower rate on your mortgage, a sub-prime lender may offer you a "points" option. Points are typically equal to 1% of your financed amount, and are considered "prepayments of interest" that will reduce your interest rate. Sub-prime lenders may charge you upwards of 5 points or more to get you into a better loan program. More often than not, you can roll the points (and the closing costs) right into your home loan so you don't have to bring money to the closing.
Typical mortgage rates can be as much as 3% higher for borrowers with bad credit than those with sparkling credit for obvious reasons, so you shouldn't get too shaken up about the rates and fees. A bad credit mortgage should be considered a "temporary fix" to allow you to get caught up on some bills while ironing out your credit. You've worked hard for your house; it's more than just walls, a floor, a roof and some furniture- it's your home! Allowing it to work for you simply proves the valuable resource that homeownership is.
