Much like personal loans, recent times have seen home loans becoming harder to get. In many cases people are going to “non-conforming” lenders due to their bad credit rating. These non-conforming lenders charge you a high interest rate because they believe you are more of a risk. In many cases you are being judged as a “bad risk” due to an unfair credit report.
The problem is that this can be costing you thousands of dollars. Take the follow for example.
Home loan with a bad credit rating may look like this:
| Loan Details | |
| Loan amount: | 300,000 |
| Interest rate: | 13% |
| Loan term: | 30 years |
| Payment Frequency | Repayment Amount | Total Interest |
| Monthly: | $3,319 | $894,695 |
Home loan with an interest rate only 3% lower (possible with credit repair):
| Loan Details | |
| Loan amount: | 300,000 |
| Interest rate: | 10% |
| Loan term: | 30 years |
| Payment Frequency | Repayment Amount | Total Interest |
| Monthly: | $2,633 | $647,777 |
You can see by the above example that on only a $300,000 home loan you can be paying an extra $200,000 in interest due to a bad credit rating, over the life of the loan.
