Mortgage After Bankruptcy With Late Payments With High Credit Scores

Credit scores are the most important factor in qualifying for a mortgage. Credit scores also play a big role in determining mortgage rates. There are many folks who work diligently in re-establishing their credit after the bankruptcy discharged date.

Many folks who work hard in re-establishing their credit after their bankruptcy discharged date can get their credit scores to over 700 credit scores in less than a year. However, it is best to have a lower credit score than have a high credit score with a late payment after bankruptcy. A borrower with a 580 credit score with no late payments after bankruptcy will definitely get an FHA loan approval with no hiccups. However, a 700 credit score borrower with a late payment after bankruptcy may not get approved for an FHA loan.

Consumers who filed for bankruptcy and got it discharged need to consciously monitor their credit reports and make all their monthly debt payments on time. This holds especially true if they are planning on applying for a mortgage after bankruptcy. Your credit report should be monitored just like your bank statements.

How Mortgage Underwriters View Derogatory Credit Tradelines Versus Late Payments

The mortgage industry is very forgiving with PRIOR bad credit and derogatory credit tradelines. Lenders are so forgiving on PRIOR derogatory credit tradelines that outstanding collections and charged-off accounts do not have to be paid to qualify for an owner-occupant primary home mortgage. Borrowers with a prior bankruptcy, foreclosure, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a short sale can qualify for a mortgage after meeting the minimum waiting period guidelines. However, lenders understand a prior bankruptcy, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale, and periods of bad credit is a one-time chance. You get just one chance of having a period of bad credit.

All lenders expect no late payments after the period of bad credit. Lenders want to see re-established credit and timely payment history with ZERO late payments. Again, one or two late payments may or may not be a deal killer. The automated underwriting system has been programmed to scrutinize any late payments after bankruptcy, foreclosure, or periods of bad credit. As mentioned earlier, it is better to have a lower credit score with no late payments after bankruptcy versus a high credit score with late payments. Timely payments are a great indicator the borrower will be timely with their new mortgage payment.
