Answer by David
Your best best is with an FHA as you noted above. The last time I was working with FHA loans the minimum credit score cutoff was 620… it could have been changed recently. The minimum down payment is 3.5%. I would pull a free credit report and work on paying any past due collections, make sure your payments are on time, and lastly ensure your credit cards are not highly utilized

Answer by Go with the flow
Don’t deal with anyone that contacts you first.
If you want a good bank, you research it yourself and pick the best.
Often the people that call, send junk emails, or mail you stuff are the worst companies.
Get smart, and start doing some homework.
Go to bankrate.com and click on mortgages – for a good start.

  1. make sur they are legal in all the states and make sure you use a buyers system in the long run they are looking out for you . make sure they arent contact you and could be a slam

  2. I agree with the above poster – never deal with companies that are sending you requests, aka – begging for business.
    Rule of thumb for me, if I didn’t contact you, I probably don’t need your services and won’t likely be doing business with you, be it phone calls or junk mail.

    By the way, yes HARP is safe, but their automated mail offers are not accurate as far as what you would actually qualify for, you probably have a dozen neighbors that received the same letters/fliers. In order to give someone an accurate rate quote, they would need your financial information, credit check, banking info etc. They can not give accurate rates without any of that. They mail those things to everyone just to get people’s attention, clearly it worked.
