Getting a Bad Credit BC Mortgage Started

It’s always important to have experienced help on your side when negotiating the pitfalls that can arise in the mortgage application process, and a professional is most helpful when the lenders aren’t already knocking down your door to lend you money. Non-traditional lenders are often the best choice for people who get turned away by the banks when looking or a mortgage, but the no that the bank gives to the applicant may not be the same answer that it gives to an experienced broker. Take a look at your credit rating on a free site like Equifax to get started and ensure that the facts on the report are correct. The free reports won’t contain your score, but they will contain notes and details about the factors that go into your score. Ensuring that those notes are correct can save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest payments if an error was present.

BC Down Payment Requirements

Down payments of greater than 35% of the total value of the property to be purchased can almost always assure the lenders that there is very little risk involved in the loan, thereby allowing them to issue a mortgage at the lowest possible rate regardless of the applicant’s credit history. 35% is a large number, however and few of even the best qualified buyers can put that volume of cash down up front. Mortgages that receive down payments of less that 20% of the property’s value are considered to be high-ratio loans and therefore require approval of the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

Bad Credit BC Mortgages granted to applicants with a history of bad credit will be considered to be high-risk, so in order to compensate for that risk the lenders will look to charge a higher interest rate. A mortgage broker will work with you to ensure that the interest rate charged is as low as possible. It is preferable to commit to a down payment of greater than 20% of the property value in order to achieve preferable rates. The full 35% is not always necessary, and people with bad credit but steady incomes can achieve favorable rates with down payments as low as 20%.
