You have a poor financial history and credit score and you want to buy a home. Do not despair as you can apply for bad credit home mortgage loans. These loans can also be used for home improvements or for consolidating your debts. Good news too, you can arrange to have only one monthly payment which can be at a lower rate of interest.

When you apply for a bad credit home improvement loan, you are typically allowed to have funds to cover essential repairs or improvements to your home. If you wish to get additional work done, you might have take out an extension on a bad credit mortgage loan. However, since the mortgage extension has to be repaid over the period of the loan, you would be paying more interest as compared to what you would pay for a home improvement loan.

When you are looking for a bad credit mortgage loan or what is also known an adverse credit mortgage loan, you should be careful regarding the rate of interest and other terms that the lender offers. Normally bad credit loans attract higher interest rates but some lenders take advantage of borrowers and charge exorbitant rates. Note, you should not be paying anything more than 8% above the interest rates charged for normal mortgage loans.

Be careful of lenders who ask for high upfront fees and the home's title to solve your financial problems. They could be frauds. Furthermore, you should be wary of lenders who ask you to inflate your income on the loan application. These lenders might get you a large loan that you would find difficult to repay - thus leading to foreclosure and loss of your house to the lender. A little caution in the beginning can save you from disaster and in worst cases, stop possession happening!
