Mortgage : Home Loans : Refinance : Home Equity Loans

By Jane Hale

Having bad credit doesn’t mean that you can’t get a mortgage loan in Texas. It simply means that you will have to take time to find a lender who is willing to offer you fair rates, good loan terms, and a second chance.

Bad Credit vs. Good Credit

The average credit score in Texas is 651, a bit below the national average of 676. If your credit score is above these averages, you don’t have bad credit and should have no problem working with a prime lender. If your credit score is below 620, you will need to work with a sub-prime lender who specializes in bad credit mortgage loans.

Finding a Bad Credit Lender in Texas

No matter how bad your credit is you should be able to find a lender who is willing to offer you a bad credit Texas mortgage loan. The real challenge will be finding a lender who won’t take advantage of your situation. Avoid bad credit lenders who contact you out of the blue via phone or email. These lenders may be looking to scam you out of your money. You will be much better off doing your own research or asking for referrals from friends, family members, and mortgage sites on the web.

Applying for a Bad Credit Mortgage Loan in Texas

Applying for a bad credit mortgage loan in Texas is just like applying for a regular mortgage loan. You will be subject to credit checks, income verifications, and home appraisals. If you are really worried about getting approved for a Texas mortgage loan, you can get a pre-approval from your lender. This way you will know exactly how much money you qualify for and how much house you can afford.
