What is a bad credit mortgage?<\/h2><\/div>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

A bad credit mortgage is an option for borrowers with below-average credit.
\nThese loans make credit available to credit-challenged applicants who might otherwise struggle to find loans with traditional lenders.
\nEven though your interest rate won’t be the lowest, making your payments on time each month will help you rebuild your credit. You might be able to refinance in the future at a\u00a0lower interest rate.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

        How does a bad credit mortgage work?<\/h2><\/div>
        If you have bad credit, your best option is to secure a\u00a0mortgage from a B lender or a private mortgage lender.
        \nThe majority of private mortgage lenders do not require borrowers to have a minimum credit score, making these loans ideal for borrowers who have credit issues.
        \nPoor credit mortgages are only intended to be a short-term solution while you work to improve your credit.
        \nMortgages with bad credit will have higher interest rates, and usually come with\u00a0additional fees.<\/p>\n

        When you\u2019re ready to submit an application for a bad credit mortgage, we’ll require some information from you, including but not limited to your:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Credit Scores and Credit Report<\/li>\n
        • Income And Employment History<\/li>\n
        • Down Payment<\/li>\n
        • Debt-To-Income History<\/li>\n
        • The Value of The Property<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

          Fast and simple approvals<\/h5>\n

          If you have bad credit, you will be unable to obtain a mortgage from a traditional lender. At Budget Rates, we will help you get approved by an alternative (or ‘B’) lender. Some lenders have a quicker approval process and need less paperwork than a bank.
          \nIf your credit isn’t good enough for a B lender, we’ll look into partnering with a private lender.
          \nSeveral Canadian private lenders can approve and fund bad credit mortgages in as little\u00a048 hours.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

          \n\t
          \n\t\t
          No minimum credit check needed<\/h5>\n

          Some lenders (mostly private) do not even require a credit check.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

          Bad credit mortgages can help you rebuild and improve your credit<\/h5>\n

          If you get a bad credit\u00a0mortgage from a non-traditional lender and make your payments on time each month, you can steadily increase your credit score over time.
          \nIn a few years, when your credit score improves, you may be able to qualify for a new mortgage with a conventional lender at a lower interest rate.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
