THE EMOTIONAL JOURNEY OF GETTING A MORTGAGE FOR BAD CREDIT

John E. Pytte March 21, 2016

mortgageIn order to purchase a home, the majority of people must agree with a mortgage provider on terms for a mortgage, which is a deferred payment loan system that allows people to enter home ownership without paying for the house in full upfront. This process can be difficult for those with bad credit, but there are certain mortgage providers that will provide affordable and exemplary lower-income or poor credit mortgage options to high-risk customers. The process of acquiring a bad credit mortgage is lined with emotional peaks and valleys; this article will lay out a few main emotional points in the journey and explore how to react and effectively respond to them.

Realizing the Importance of Home Investment

There comes a point in every person's life where they realize that by renting, they are simply throwing money away that could instead be invested in home equity. Renters pay rental payments each month to house themselves and their belongings, whereas the payments that those who have mortgages pay are going towards financial freedom and home ownership each month. Even though mortgage payments are typically higher than rental payments, they are an investment in your (and your family's) future. Building home equity is an important aspect of increasing your personal wealth, and a house is a valuable asset to own in any economy.

Panicking, Then Adjusting

Making mortgage payments is certainly more difficult than making rental payments, especially when you are paying into a specialized mortgage for bad credit holders. You cannot simply end a lease and find somewhere more affordable to live; if you cannot pay your mortgage you not only face eviction, you also lose your largest investment - your home. Months feel shorter than ever, and debt restructuring can make your bill payments even more painful, particularly when you are already trying to pay off prior loans such as credit card debt or student loans. Juggling multiple debt payments at once can be overwhelming, but mortgage holders who have steady jobs and excellent work ethics often find that creditors can be surprisingly flexible and forgiving. You may qualify for debt consolidation loans for people with bad credit. If your payments are on-time and you show a willingness to be open about your financial situation, most creditors will work to make sure your interests align with theirs.

Affirmation of Hard Work and Feelings of Pride

There is no feeling more empowering than digging yourself out of financial difficulty. Rejecting the doctrine of failure, picking yourself up and acquiring an affordable mortgage is likely to be a major turning point in your life, and it is commendable; you should be very proud of yourself for solving your credit issues. Even though it may take years and lots of hard work, the emotional euphoria of taking control of your financial future will not fade. A willingness to work hard, to take time to learn the details of credit scores and mortgage regulations, and to strive to remedy your situation with banks and lenders rather than running away from your problems are all excellent personal qualities worth celebrating. This affirmation will be the peak of your emotional journey.

When you have bad credit, life seems to offer you more challenges than everyone around you. Typical milestones in an adult life such as purchasing a car, buying a house, or opening a line of business credit take more time to achieve and prove more difficult to manage due to inflexible payment schedules and high interest rates. However, acquiring a mortgage for bad credit holders does not have to be an impossible task - meeting with a debt relief attorney can provide you with the tools that you need to pursue an agreement with a mortgage lender.
