Sorry, with a 474 credit score, I don't know of a single lender anywhere in the country that will assist you. Work on repairing you credit, and try again in the future.

Bristol, TN - You are going to need at least a 600 credit score to get close to being able to be get a mortgage. You will also need at least three active tradelines reporting to the credit bureau each with at least a one year history of on-time payments.

There is no such product.. you need to improve your scores substancially and because of the low loan amount, you will be forced to use the local "Big Banks".. they are only one's allowed to overcharge you to make a $40,000 loan worth while... Sorry.. WilliamAcres.com

I've seen that kind of score before but as others have said you essentially can't get any kind of traditional mortgage without significant improvement. FHA is the most flexible and has a mandatory 540 minimum credit but it would be almost impossible to find a lender who would approve you for a cash out loan with a score that low. Seek credit counseling, find a local agency at: http://www.nfcc.org/FirstStep/firststep_03.cfm
