Bad Credit Mortgage Things You Should Do

By Phil Fowler

If you have horrible credit and are looking for bad credit mortgage loans that are available, there are a several things that you should be doing while hunting. Without doing these must do items, you will surely fail in your goals of being approved to purchase or refinance a home.

Credit checking and repairing is essential to your ability to qualify for a loan. Just like brushing your teeth to keep your teeth clean and healthy, there are things you must do to keep your credit strong and healthy.

We are not telling you to pull a credit report every month, but do it at least once a year. Just like a regular doctors check up to see if anything is wrong, a credit checkup can save you many horrible problems. One growing problem is identity theft and fraud. Checking your credit report is the best way to know if someone has stolen your identity. Checking your credit will also help you see what accounts are being shown and accounted for on the credit report.

Next help your credits health is by nourishing it and taking care of it. How do you nourish a credit score and credit history? When planting a tree you need some essential things for it to grow. Credit is exactly the same way as far as how it grows and takes root. Credit scores raise naturally every 6 months if proper care and nourishment has been given.

To help your credit score take root, make sure you are making monthly payments on time and every single month, do not open new credit accounts, and make sure to be paying down high credit balances, and DO NOT close any open credit accounts. Too often people pay things off and close accounts. What you are essentially doing is plucking a beautiful flower from its stem.

As you can see there are a few things you can do to help your credit out to help you get a mortgage loan.
