Kelly D asked:
Have a credit score of around 620-640. Past wage garnishment (a year ago) but paid off early. Past car repossession (reason for the garnishment.) Other small things charged-off. Only looking for a mortgage loan of $25K or less with $10K for down payment. With todays economy, is there any chance of finding a mortgage company? What kind of rates would I be looking at?

I won’t says it’s impossible – only a lender who can look at your actual data could say that – when people over 700 can’t always get loans, I’d say the chances aren’t great.
You have nothing to lose by checking into it though. Just go talk to a couple of lenders and find out. Having a down payment would be a huge help to you.

your credit score isn’t all that bad. And you are putting down a lot.
Talk with a lender (or even 2). Odds are you will have to pay off the small charge offs.
