Good credit, no bills, and can't get a $49,000 mortgage.
I am baffled on this one.
I have a decent job that I have been at forever.
I spent the last 8 years cleaning up the mess my ex-wife made of my credit report.
I have no bills and everything I own is paid for.
I found a nice house for my wife and kids and I for only $49,000.
It is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home on three acres. Apparently it is a foreclosure hence the cheap price. It is right around the corner from where we currently live so the kids could stay in the same school The house is perfect.

Here is my problem. I will have about $8,000 by the end of January for a down payment and have been denied by three mortgage companies. Apparently, I qualify for a mortgage but the greedy banks will not originate a loan for less than $80,000 because they do not make enough when they sell it.

I know what I make and I know what I can afford....An $80,000 loan is not on my list!

So, does anyone here know of any place I can get about $42,000? Small bank? Private lender? Anything?

Organize a deal 'legally' with the seller to over pay them 31k and they give you back 30, they make a grand for nothing.
And you pay the 30 back on the loan straight away lmao

Re: Good credit, no bills, and can't get a $49,000 mortgage.
It's very hard to get a home loan now.

I bought a small house about ten years ago and got a loan, paid it off and sold my house last year. During this past summer, I found a house I thought I'd like to buy. So I called my bank and spoke with a banker who practically yelled at me because I asked about a small home loan. I wanted to put half down.

I had just moved and had money saved up plus I own some land, but the banker screamed at me that since I was currently without a job (I had just moved!), there was no way they'd give me a loan.

I could not believe how rude that man was.

I have very good credit, my only ding against me is that I have no credit cards, I don't like them and don't want them.

That banker could've been professional and polite, there was no need to be rude.

I decided at this point if I want a house I'll just have to save up for one.

Same here......No credit cards and don't want them.

If I didn't have kids, I would buy one of the 5 acre tracts behind me ($25,000) each and live in a tent or camper for a while.

A good friend of mine just got married about 4 months ago, so he and his wife are looking for a house to get out of their apartment. Both have excellent jobs and make decent money and have good credit.
They found a house for 120 grand that they liked in a nice neighborhood.
The only lender that would even talk with them wants 35 thousand dollars as a down payment (30% of the loan).

Its that way in this area too.Huge down payment.If its a cheap house like OP is referring to they wont bother with it unless you plan to pay in full when you buy it.Hardly anyone can qualify for a loan.

Here's an idea, take the $80k, put the money you don't need to pay for the house into a savings account, make payments every 2 weeks, this will mess up their interest calculation AND you will pay off the loan sooner. Be sure you stick into the savings account as much of that monthly payment as you can so when it gets down to being zero, you'll just about have thing payed off.

You know....That thought had crossed my mind. The house has a current tax appraisal of $78,000 so if I financed it for full value I could do something like that. I thought about writing a check for the difference to the lender with instructions to apply it solely to the principal.
