With your mid-score being a 551 right now, you're definately a candidate for NationStar. If it goes higher after your re-score, you'll be in even better shape. I think their minimum is 520. You need to call them and review your situation and see what they can do for you.
Here's their general number: 888-324-2432 (located in Phoenix time zone).
You can speak with any loan officer you want, but the guy that I'm working with is "Dakryn Richards" and he is very aggressive at working on your behalf. He's got more "fire in the belly" about helping sub-prime borrowers than anyone I've ever seen.
NationStar is no "2nd tier" or "no-name" lender... they're the mortgage people for Centex, one of the largest builders in the country and they're headquartered in Dallas with a call center in Phoenix, not India like Countrywide. In my opinion, they're really good people. Countrywide has gotten so big and they've hired so many bottom-feeder type call center reps PLUS they answer a lot of their calls in India. They're a real mess right now and something tells me they might fall apart and either close or layoff a HUGE number of employees during all this "mortgage mess" in the country right now.
