    Try to extend the lease option period...for starters, and then go to the lenders tab here and also take out an ad locally and find a buyer for the house and wholesale it to them..or assign your option to someone with a substantial downpayment and no credit. Advertise it No Bank Qualifying!
    Call xxx-xxx-xxxx

    Good luck

    Since this is a lease option this can be counted as a refi. You would be able to use any equity to help satisfy the LTV Limits. That is if the house is worth more as the seller says.

    Can you show cancelled checks showing that the payments were made on time?

    Since I no longer do loans I don't know which company is best for your deal but you can try these:
    Argent Mortgage Company
    Delta Funding Corproation
    Long Beach Mortgage

    Here's a prime example where a good broker is needed. La...with scores less than or equal to 500, is there anyone that would fund this loan?

  • geo_choy8th February, 2004

    Argent, Delta and Long Beach no longer lend to sub 500 borrowers.

    There are lenders (hard money or conventional) that do lend to sub 500 borrowers but ltv/cltv max is 80%. DTI can be as high as 55% to qualify and with cancelled check, this situation can be done as a refi. Key here is what the house will appraise for.

    You could also try ask seller for an extension.

    The purpose of the lease option or land contract is to get your credit cleared up while you are building equity at the seller's expense. I know a couple in your situation that resides in FL

    Here's the loan they got:
    70% LTV
    11.49% 2/28
    ON appraised value.

    So you need to find out the appraised value of the house

    geo_choy,

    Do you have handy the web addresses (URL) for Argent, Delta and Long Beach? if not good for mychildren, there are other Newbies who might be able to use them.

    I know a GA investor who might be interested in working with you on this deal. Like others have noted, you will not be getting the best terms but they might be the terms that will work so you can do the deal.

    Send me a PM so I can post the details.
