Credit score under 500 mortgage lender?
Answer:
Regulated lenders can't touch anything under 500 credit scores. You need hard money.
Hard money goes to a maximum 75% of the value of a primary residence. You have to come up with the other 25% yourself. The only reason they're willing to lend you money at all is they are certain they can get their money back if you default.

Just do a yahoo search on "hard money lenders". There are definitely lenders that will work with you but your interest rates are gonna start at 12%.
well first off if you get a mortgage now your interest rate will be so high that even if you are getting a good deal on the home you wouldn't be able to tell it because of your high interest which makes have a high payment!
There is alot of people who will . Bring all documentation that your past due and collections are taken care of and then the bank will find you a loan if not through them through a secondary loan lender , Interest will be high and alot of points too but that is how the game is played . If you came into our bank with a credit score of 725-800 you would get a mortgage for the 369k if you so desired with 1 point down and an interest rate of about 4.77 % but you do not have that so you will be paying dearly ! Good luck .
Where's the property?
Hard money lender will probably give you about 50% to 60%, with a fico score of 500 that's about all you'll get from anyone.
I would suggest talking to family and friends for more of a down payment, I would sell off your assets.
Then work on your credit, and you'll need at least a 620 fico score to get 100% financing.
Good Luck.

Pension Plan
Using a pension plan to accumulate the balance of your mortgage is a tax free saving scheme. The balance of your house will be saved over a period of time until you can pay your final balance. If you do intend to use a pension fund to save for the balance of your house, consideration should be taken into account to open another pension fund for retirement purposes too.
ISA Plan
With an ISA plan you invest in stocks and shares via an Individual Savings Account (ISA) - which is a tax-free method of saving. This method of saving may not be suitable for most borrowers. Before considering this option you should consult with an independent financial adviser.
Endowment
An endowment is still the most common type of interest only mortgage which also provides life assurance cover and a fixed payment for investment. The endowment policy along with the interest only mortgage should in effect end at the same time, leaving you with the ownership of your home and nothing to pay. Endowments have undergone much criticism; this is due to investors being promised high returns from their investments. However lately this has not been the case, borrowers have found their investments have been as good as expected and a shortfall in the end amount of invested cash will not match the amount owed on the current property.
Taking into account the recent problems that have arisen regarding endowment policies it is worth remembering that returns on endowment policies have been pretty good, however you do need to see the term out in full. Also endowments do provide life assurance as part of the actual policy, so in the unfortunate event of a death the mortgage balance is paid in full.
Advantages of an interest only mortgage
• Your investments and savings could accumulate more than the required amount to cover the final payment; this could leave you more cash for your own personal use.
• Some plans have good tax benefits and help reach the required amount it a quicker and cheaper rate.
Disadvantages of an interest only mortgage
• In the unfortunate event of your investments not acquiring the designated amount of cash to cover the loan repayment, the investor could face a shortfall which they will then need to pay. If you are worried about a shortfall on your investment, you should keep in touch with your investor and request regular updates on the situation of your endowment. If the worst comes to the worst, you can increase payments to compensate for the loss of investment.
• Cashing in your endowment, ISA or pension could have adverse effects on the amount of money you have saved over the past however many years. If you do decide to cash in any existing policies you may be subjected to a penalty, this could be a cash amount specified by the investment company/lender. Please seek professional advice if you are worried about the end results of your finances, don’t be too hasty as most policies accumulate more of the cash in the final year
