How long does the whole mortgage process take at Bad Credit Loan?
Once you apply for a mortgage an affiliate broker will contact you anywhere from five minutes to two days. After you decide which mortgage plan you would like to get, your affiliate broker will then mail you a standard mortgage application. Once your affiliate broker receives your application back he or she can lock in your interest rates. From that point to closing can be anywhere from ten to thirty days. This depends mostly on your credit and if it's a purchase or a refinance mortgage loan.
Is my application and personal information secure at Bad Credit Loan?

All sensitive information transmitted between your browser and our web site uses 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
Once I complete the online application am I obligated into accepting your loan?
We realize that shopping around for lower rates is a natural part of the mortgage process. This is why our online application has no obligation and no application fees. If you do find better rates or terms that we can't either meet or beat then you are in no way obligated into accepting one of our loans.
Why do some online companies ask for my social security number and Bad Credit Loan doesn't?
Many people are very unsure about internet security. Although we have taken various steps to prevent any of your personal information from leaking out, we feel that it is not necessary information at this point in time. The information you provide for our online application is basic contact information for your affiliate broker. Your affiliate broker will need your social security to pull your credit so he or she can quote you a rate, and can get this from you over the phone.
Will my credit score go down every time my credit is pulled?
You have a thirty day period in which your are expected to have your credit pulled by different lenders. If you have your credit pulled for different things your score will definitely go down. For example if you're applying for credit card, car, and a mortgage all in the same month lenders will start to get worried. Also if you have your credit pulled within this thirty day period and you don't get a mortgage, and then you apply again 60 days later lenders are going to want to know why you didn't get it before. Bad Credit Loan pulls directly from the credit repositories and only needs to pull your credit once through out the entire loan process! Why risk lowering your score?

What is LTV (Loan to Value) and how will it affect my loan?
Most lenders limit the amount of money they will loan to a certain percentage of the value of your home. This is known as the loan to value (LTV.) For example, if a lender says "we can go to 85% LTV," then the maximum loan they could extend would be 85% of the current market value of your home. The maximum LTV can vary not only from homeowner to homeowner, but from lender to lender as well based on each homeowner's unique qualifications. At Bad Credit Loan, we specialize in helping homeowners with less than perfect credit.

What is the lowest credit score I can have and still get a new loan?

These qualifications will affect your ability to qualify for a loan with any particular lender and the rate and terms you will qualify for.

What's the difference between a refinance and a home equity loan?
Many homeowners incorrectly believe that a refinance and a home equity loan are the same thing. They are not. With a refinance, the old first mortgage is paid off and any cash out to consolidate bills or given to you at close is rolled together into one new loan. One rate. One loan. One payment. A home equity loan is synonymous with a second mortgage. If you take out a home equity loan (fixed amount or line of credit) you will have a second loan and a second mortgage payment with a usually much higher second mortgage rate. For most homeowners, refinancing is the single best way to get cash and consolidate high rate debt.
Will I need to verify all my income?
