How will a past bankruptcy or foreclosure affect my ability to obtain a new mortgage?

Shearson Mortgage - Mortgage FAQ - Loan Process: Application
If you've had a bankruptcy or foreclosure in the past, it may affect your ability to get a new mortgage. Unless the bankruptcy or foreclosure was caused by situations beyond your control, we will generally require that 2 to 4 years have passed since the bankruptcy or foreclosure. It is also important that you've re-established an acceptable credit history with new loans or credit cards.

I have had credit problems in the past. Will this affect my ability to obtain a mortgage loan?

MAFS.com - Frequently Asked Questions
In evaluating an application for a mortgage loan an applicant's credit history will be considered as one element in determining the applicant's qualification for the requested loan. Negative credit histories or a lack of previous credit experience can adversely affect an applicant's ability to obtain a requested loan. More recent credit information will be weighed more heavily than older information. Also, some types of credit histories may be given greater weight than others.

Law Offices of Brad Kurlancheek - Northeastern Pennsylvania ...
You may find it difficult to qualify for credit cards again, but that is not a bad thing. :) However, you will probably be receiving credit card solicitations in the mail again right after bankruptcy. You should throw such mailings away, and if possible, keep only one active credit card, ever, for the rest of your life, which card you should apply for after your bankruptcy. You should be able to qualify for a "secured" credit card, e.g., through Capital One.

How Your Credit Report Affects Your Ability To Get a Mortgag...
There are several kinds of bankruptcy. An individual or business selects a specific type based on the amount of debt owed and other financial circumstances. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as straight bankruptcy, probably is the chapter most people think of when discussing bankruptcy. When individuals file Chapter 7, most -- or all -- debts are canceled. In some cases, however, specific assets must be surrendered to a court-appointed trustee, who sells the assets to repay some of your bills.

Will a past personal bankruptcy affect my ability to buy a home ?

Mortgage FAQs for Atlanta Geogia real estate
Bankruptcy itself will not keep you from being approved for a mortgage. You may be able to buy a home sooner than you might expect after bankruptcy, because a lender may look at your credit history before the bankruptcy, the cause of your bankruptcy, and how you've handled your financial responsibilities since the bankruptcy.

Can I get a mortgage if I've had a bankruptcy or foreclosure?

FAQ
We have investors that, based on your situation, would approve you even if you are still in Chapter 13, with the court's permission. A number of other investors have programs with as little as a day after discharge. These mortgages will require a larger (up to 30%) down payment. You may still get a conforming ("A" paper) mortgage if you have re-established at least 2 years of new good credit after your bankruptcy or foreclosure discharge date.

Some examples of extenuating circumstances include: death of a principal wage earner, prolonged loss of employment for reasons beyond the borrower's control, such as site closings, mergers, or reductions in workforce, or a long-term illness, or disability not covered by insurance.

I've had a few employers in the last few years. Will that affect my ability to get a new mortgage?

Shearson Mortgage - Mortgage FAQ - Loan Process: Application
Having changed employers frequently is typically not a detriment to obtaining a new mortgage loan. This is particularly true if you made employment changes without having periods of time in between without employment. We'll also look at your income advancements as you have changed employment. If you're paid on a commission basis, a recent job change may be an issue since we'll have a difficult time of predicting your earnings without a history with your new employer.

Can douching affect your ability to conceive?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
Yes. By all means, do not douche when trying to get pregnant! For that matter, women really should never douche, since it alters the normal acidity of the vagina and is not usually necessary. It can also adversely change the normal Ph balance and can ironically lead to vaginal infections and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID.) In addition, douching alters the vaginal environment to such an extent that sperm usually can't survive.

Can orgasm affect your ability to conceive?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
Generally speaking, probably not. But interestingly enough, female orgasms usually increase the quantity and flow of the natural alkaline secretions that occur around ovulation. And the orgasmic contractions may help transport sperm into the cervix, where cervical crypts produce fertile quality cervical fluid. In the end, though, female orgasm is helpful, but by no means critical. Low weight is typically only a problem if it is preventing you from ovulating.

A - There are a number of lenders that will provide you a mortgage even following the first day that you are discharged from this bankruptcy. This isn’t to say that the rate you will be charged will be the same as what you would find at one of the major lending institutions. Make sure that if you have been involved in a bankruptcy in the past, that you immediately try and obtain a secured credit card or line of credit in order to start rebuilding your credit history.
