How to Repair and Rebuild your Credit in about 6 months to 1 year.
About two years ago my credit was shot. I went through a bankruptcy, had all kinds of collections and many late pays. My credit report looked terrible and my mid FICO score was about 520. I couldn’t buy anything on credit and rightfully so. Going through bankruptcy was actually an answer to my despair. My bills were mounting higher and higher and there was no way I would have ever been able to catch up or pay people back. It was an almost hopeless feeling. I had three small children and a mortgage to pay. Things were tight. I was always taught that bankruptcy was wrong. It was not ok and if you went through one it was almost as if you had leprosy. There was no way I was going to do that! At times I felt like I should just end it all.

The World Wide Net is swarming with equity loan bargains. Some lenders are offering low interest loans to lure the homeowners in the door. Lenders offering low interest rates on home equity loans are sometimes even opting to pay the closing fees on fee loans.
The downside to this is that loans with no closing fees require that the borrower take out a loan over and above the normal ability to repay. Thus, if you get an equity loan with no closing fees, you most likely must apply for a loan amount of $500,000 or more to get the bargain. If your home equity does not meet the loan amount, then you will be outright rejected for such a loan.
FHA loans are loans that are insured by (HUD) Housing Urban and Development.
