Answer by Quicken Loans

I recommend looking around for “subprime” lenders. They are companies that specialize in working with clients with bad or less than good credit.

Are you sure your credit is bad? Make sure you know your credit score. If you truly do have bad credit, you may want to take some steps to improve your credit before you apply for a mortgage.

Also keep in mind that the rules and regulations for the subprime loan market have changed recently and it may be hard to qualify for a loan.

But anyway, do a search for subprime lenders and you’ll find a company that can help you. I work for Quicken Loans and you can contact us also if you like. We don’t do very many subprime loans, but you never know what you qualify for until you speak to a mortgage professional and get real and accurate advice and numbers.
