Mortgage Qualification Guidlines
1. You should have had no late payments with your previous credits for at least one year (12 months). But if you have had a great credit record for several years and you had some little occasions of late payment, your application might still be considered. Usually, lenders watch out for late payments that are 30 days behind or more.
2. Lenders will check your rental payment history. You should have regular, on time payments for your rental residence for at least, the last 2 years to prove that you pay on time.
3. If the government has established your student loan to be in default, it is possible that you are not found to be a qualified applicant for a mortgage loan. However, there are cases the disqualification may be waived provided that you have entered into your repayment negotiations to schedule for the student loan and you have made punctual payments again for the previous year.

Mortgage Loans for People with Bad Credit
Though a bankruptcy is certainly a blemish on a credit report, it does not necessarily disqualify a borrower. Recognising that sometimes bad things happen to good people, some select loan officers are becoming more willing to take a calculated risk.
Some lenders use a securing system to determine whether potential buyers are a worthwhile risk. Unfortunately, bankruptcy gives a low rating. However, select lenders are beginning to look beyond the rating and look at the individuals in need.
Because of new options, bankruptcy no longer needs to stand in the way of getting a home loan. With the help of more creative lenders, those who have experienced financial difficulty will have an easier time getting a mortgage.
