Ok guys some things I almost can’t handle. This post will push some people to the stage of emotional ‘come apartness’ but that’s just too bad. Some of you are being stupid and you need to hear it like it is.
You shouldn’t be getting a mortgage loan if you have bad credit, period.
What kind of person would I be if I acted like it was ok to make crappy financial decisions? Step up, become an adult, and stop making sucky choices. You have already screwed over your credit and now you want to push the issue further by taking out a mortgage loan? WTF people, that’s all that I can say.
I’m at a point in my life where I’m starting to get ahead a little. Why is this happening? Because I finally decided to spend less than I earn. I spend $380 per month on my housing, even though I make more than $12,000 per month. What does this allow me to do? Save a lot of money so that I can buy a home the right way.
Bad credit mortgage loans are honestly one of the absolute dumbest things you could ever get involved with. Do you really want to pay more interest for your home than people pay on their credit cards? How is this a good plan?
One of the biggest problems here in the U.S. is that everyone thinks that we’re born with the divine right to own a home. Sorry suckers – we’re not. If you want to own a home at some point, get control of your life. Work harder and stop spending everything you make.
If you have bad credit, you don’t deserve to buy a home right now. Sorry. You should be renting while you fix your credit. I feel for your situation and have been there myself. My all time lowest credit score was under 500. I couldn’t buy a cell phone or satellite dish, let alone a home. I didn’t deserve to buy a home and neither do you, if you’re in that situation. Grow up, and fix your situation.
Likely objections to this post:
Getting a mortgage with bad credit is a terrible idea and people who use them are completely out of control. Have some humility, pay your rent, pay your bills, fix your credit, and then start thinking about buying a home. 3 years from now you can have complete control of your finances. However, you have to start acting now.

1While I don’t disagree with the basic premise of your post, I would like to point out that there are cases where people ended up with bad credit not so much because of living beyond their means but by bad circumstances. Some examples are, 1) Divorce where one party ends up with debts that the other is still on the hook for, 2) Health problems and the resulting bills that almost nobody could pay for and 3) Identity theft. It would seem to me that in situations like these, wanting to purchase a home that is no more or even less than their current rent amount isn’t a bad financial decision, good or bad credit.
