How To Become A Home Owner With Bad Credit

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 8, 2013 - When a consumer rents a apartment or a home they write a monthly check and that money is gone forever. But when a consumer owns a home, they can deduct the cost of the mortgage loan interest from their federal income taxes, and usually from their state taxes. This will save them a lot each year, because the interest they pay will make up most of their monthly payment for most of the years of the mortgage. They can also deduct the property taxes they pay as a homeowner. In addition, the value of the home may go up over the years.

Consumers with bad credit may be a good candidate for one of the federal mortgage programs. FHA loans have been helping people become homeowners since 1934. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) - which is part of HUD - insures the loan, so the lender can offer the home buyer a better deal. FHA might be just what a consumer needs because they offer easy credit qualifying and the down payment can be as low as 3.5% of the purchase price, and most of the closing costs and fees can be included in the loan. FHA loans are available on 1-4 unit properties.
