If you have bankruptcy on your record you might think refinancing your mortgage is out of reach. The fact is, even with a recent bankruptcy on your credit, you can still qualify for the financing you need. By taking steps to repair your credit you can improve the mortgage you will qualify for; here is what you need to know to get started.

There is an entire industry of mortgage lenders today that specialize in bad credit mortgages. The problem with these loans is you will pay a premium for very aspect of the loan. This is why it is important to improve your credit as much as possible before applying for the loan.

Repairing your credit is not as difficult as it sounds; however it will take time. You can improve your situation dramatically by opening a savings account and putting money in the bank. Once you are able to qualify for a credit card, open an account and use it responsibly. Keep the balance on your credit card low and make all of your payments on time. It is crucial that you make every single mortgage payment on time. You need at least six months of on-time payments on your record before you start thinking about refinancing your existing loan.

By making all of your payments on time and putting some money in the bank you will be able to qualify for a better mortgage when it is time to refinance. To learn about finding the right mortgage and avoiding common mortgage mistakes, register for a free mortgage guidebook.
