Q: As a first time home buyer with less than perfect credit am I more likely to get better rates at an online company or at a local bank?
  • Most local banks do not have programs for people with less than perfect credit. A lot depends upon exactly what is on the credit report and how much you are looking to put down. Your interest rate is a measurement of the risk of the loan. This includes credit, employment, down payment, assets, income, debt to income ratio, etc. Because of your credit, I would look at a mortgage company.
