I am trying to get information on how to purchase a home after I have been through a foreclosure. Who loans money after you have been through a bankruptcy and foreclosure. Is there any way?

Yes . . . but try to clean up your credit file, too - Posted by Robert M. Campbell

When you find motivated sellers, bad credit should not prevent you from using creative financing methods to make money in real estate.

However, in the meantime, you might want to consider having your credit improved.

Then you would be armed with both creative financing techniques . . . and conventional lending programs . . . and have even more options available to you.

While “credit repair” is an industry with a soiled history and infested with a lot of “snake-oil” sales people, I have found one company that is very effective and offers a money-back guarantee.

The name of the company is ICR Services . . . and I suggest it to a lot of my prospective mortgage clients who have bad credit (which there are many).

If you want some information, I will email it to you.

ktm,

You can enter into a lease/ option, buy on land contract, buy subject to the sellers mortgage, you could buy using a wraparound mortgage. You could get a partner and equity share. There are many ways to acquire real estate without your credit ever becoming an issue. I would suggest reading all how to and money making articles on this site for starters.

This site is loaded with techniques where buyer credit is not a factor in purchasing RE. The technique to use will depend on your reason for buying. A place to live, or for investment, for the long or short term.

A good mortgage broker can work wonders for getting you a loan even with these blemishes.

There are alternatives also such as lease options, seller financing, land contracts,etc.
