There are programs available for no credit and/or limited credit that will allow up to 96.5% financing (if you have no score) and down to a 530 mid score if a score is present with loan amounts up to 90% of the purchase price or appraised value (lessor of the two). You would need to be able to provide non-traditional credit, which is payments that you have made on accounts that do not report to the credit bureau's. Such as electric, insurance, buy here pay here outlets, etc. These accounts most be currently open and be able to verify a 12 month pay history (paid as agreed). You would also need to verify your last 12 months rental history (via canceled checks or money order receipts if renting from a private individual). The programs mentioned offer very competitive interest rates as well. If you should have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me anytime. 251-609-3770.Thanks and hope your day goes well!

Maybe... You have the potential option of using what is known as 'alternative credit' under the FHA loan guidelines. This isn't automatic, and you'll have hoops to jump through. But it is worth a try. Contact a local mortgage broker in your area for assistance.

Possibly.. but we would need to look at the complete loan profile to determine. I've only seen one time in my career that a person had "Zero Credit" showing on their report.. and it was someone who had recently gone through a name change.. other than that, there is a profile on everyone.. but there might not be enough info to produce a credit score.. So long as one of you have a credit score, and assuming it's sufficient for qualifying, and you meet all other eligibility requirements, then yes.. it's very possible you can get an FHA loan.. but without looking at the complete loan profile, it's impossible to say.. The best advice I can give you is to contact a mortgage bank/broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with a Banker/Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the banker/broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the big box banks. I'm a preferred Lender with Arizona and California being my primary markets. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com NMLS# 226347 / RPM Mortgage NMLS 1541014 / AZMB0121893
