Now, things may have changed quite a bit…

it was not long ago that you could get a 100% ltv loan, or get a loan with bad credit.. meaning even no credit.

you could also get a liars loan… this was really called a no doc loan. Meaning you got the loan based on not having to fill out any financial documentation.

All you essectially had to have was a pulse.

Now, times have changed, and things aren’t like that anymore….

One thing to note, interest rates are looking pretty good.

As of this writing, you can get a 30 year fixed rate loan for 4.5% That is really amazing…

Rates have never been this low.
