There is a saying: everything is bigger in Texas. While it may apply to hair, trucks, or food portions, it doesn't have to represent mortgage rates. Even if you have bad credit, you don't have to pay astronomical interest rates. Between bad credit and being an immigrant, it might seem like you'll never find a mortgage that will be affordable. But, affordable mortgages are available for people just like you. However, you need to do some research beforehand, and become familiar with the various terms and phrases associated with home loans. For example, if you take out a mortgage for 15 years, you can expect to get a lower rate than if you took one out for 30 years. While the 15-year rate sounds like what you want, keep in mind that your payments will be significantly higher each month since you won't be spreading them out over 30 years. Going with a 30 year mortgage, despite a higher interest rate, is usually the route people take because they want a lower monthly payment. There's nothing wrong with that, and it doesn't mean that you have to physically live in the same house for 30 years. People move before their mortgage has been paid off all the time--you'll just have to use the sale price of the home to pay back the loan. You may even end up making money when you sell your home, even within just a few years.
