Qualifying for a Mortgage After Delinquency
The primary determinant of your credit scores is your payment history, with recent payments having the greatest influence. Due to the fact that you made late payments within the last year, lenders might offer you a higher mortgage interest rate, which would raise your monthly payments. That higher interest rate could cost you thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
You may also be required to make a larger down payment. When determining whether it would be better to apply for a mortgage right away or to wait until your credit scores have had more time to recover, it’s critical to take these factors into account.
Can I still get a mortgage loan with a few late payments in the past year?
Depending on a number of variables, including the lender’s requirements, the severity of your past late payments, and the overall strength of your credit history, you may not be able to obtain a mortgage following a few late payments in the previous year.
You might still be able to get a mortgage loan if your credit history is good despite the recent late payments, but you probably won’t be eligible for the best terms and rates.
