Can I get a mortgage with a judgment?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
Yes, usually after the judgment is satisfied or on a documented payment plan. Lenders want to be sure a judgment can't attach to the property ahead of their lien.
FHA and conventional both allow it with proof of resolution or an approved plan with a few payments made. We'll document the judgment correctly so it doesn't derail closing.
