Can I Get a Mortgage Loan with Some Bad Credit History ?
I have held the same Job for 25 years, but I have some negative payment history. Can I still purchase a home in the South Bay.
Employment status or employment history has nothing to do with your credit score, but some lenders may review it to determine if you are stable enough to repay a loan.
Your income has nothing to do with credit scores. Your savings has nothing to do with your FICO’s credit scoring equation. However, some lenders may consider these factors to determine the likelihood that you will default on a loan.
I cannot get a loan due to poor credit. This is not true. There are many lenders who give loans for bad credit but charge high interest rates.
Bad Credit never goes away. With sound debt-management practices, the negative marks will eventually vanish. Late payments, bankruptcies, foreclosures and collections typically remain on your credit report for seven years. (The exceptions are Chapter 7 bankruptcies and tax liens, which remain for 10 years and indefinitely, respectively.)
All Credit scores are created equal. Each of the three major credit bureaus produces a FICO score based on the information it has about your credit history.

A Little South Bay History
With mention of Huell Howser this week in the Daily Breeze and friend of mine, a local videographer, Jerry Miles came to mind. He really is our very own local Video Historian:
Although Jerry who has lived out of this area for all of his adult life, Our South Bay left an indelible mark on his heart and soul. And he has used his gift of videographer to capture his memories (and others) on video. This is much needed in this day and time, thanks to Jerry we now have our history in Photos.
Go to http://cougartown.com/video_page.php for a taste and then to You tube under Jerry Miles to finds more.
Everything is here from shots of our South Bay cities way back in the day to the Beach Boys to Northrop’s Flying wing. Stop, slow down and ENJOY.
Costco to Build New Store
According to Nick Green, of the Daily Breeze, another big change in the wind. Costco has filed an application with the city to build a larger store with more parking. This will be built on the 23-acre parcel on Lomita Boulevard adjacent to its current location. The new store would total 161,500 square feet on 17.5 acres. The current store is 148,000-square-foot store and features 761spaces compared to the new store which will offer 874 parking spaces for the shoppers convenience.
The other interesting part of this story is that Home Depot
located in the Crossroads Shopping center is considering moving in to the old Costco once the new structure and the Costco move in complete which is across the street for Lowes.
