If you are in the market for a new mortgage finding the right lender can be a difficult task, especially if you have credit problems. There are plenty of mortgage lenders that want to take advantage of your situation with absurd fees and interest rates. The trick is to find a mortgage lender with reasonable rates and terms. Here are tips to help you find the right mortgage lender for your financial situation.

Clean Up Your Credit First

The credit agencies that maintain your records are not perfect. The fact that there are three separate companies maintaining your credit records is an indication of how error prone these records can be. At least six months before you start applying for a mortgage, request copies of your credit records from each agency and go over these records with a fine tooth comb. If you find errors in your credit reports you will need to dispute them with the credit agency and the creditor responsible for the error.

Once your records are correct request your credit score. This score is based on the contents of your credit records. If your records are accurate you can improve your credit score by paying down the balances on your credit cards and making all of your regular monthly payments on time. You want this credit score to be as high as possible; the higher your credit score the better your interest rate and loan terms will be.
