A lower credit score and real equity is a common Colorado situation, not a dead end. Tell us where you stand and a licensed Colorado loan officer will tell you which programs fit, if any, and how much of your equity they can actually reach.
Your score took a hit and the online lenders bounced you at the first screen.
You have lived in the home for years and the equity is real.
Cards, medical bills, or one rough year did the damage, and you are climbing out.
You want one payment instead of six.

Where Colorado homeowners in this spot usually end up
A lower score means a smaller share of the value, not always a no
Programs that accept lower scores lend a smaller portion of what the home is worth and price the loan higher. Whether that still solves your problem depends on how much equity you have and how much you actually need.
Government-backed, conventional, or non-QM
Each family of programs draws its credit lines differently and has its own rules about recent payment history. Which door is open depends on your specific history, not just the three-digit score.
Fix first, or refinance first?
Sometimes a small credit repair over sixty days changes which program you qualify for and what it costs. Part of the call is checking whether that is true for you before you spend anything.
Questions people ask before they call
What is the lowest credit score that can refinance a mortgage?
It depends on the program and on the rest of the file: equity, payment history, income documentation and the loan size all move the floor. Some programs accept scores the online lenders will not, with more equity required and a higher cost. We give you a real answer on the call rather than a number that is wrong for half the people reading it.
Can I refinance with bad credit but good equity?
Often, yes. Equity is what makes a lower-score file workable, because the lender is lending a smaller share of the home's value. Expect a higher cost than a spotless-credit loan and a closer look at recent payment history.
Is it worth refinancing with bad credit?
Sometimes. If the refinance clears expensive debt, lowers the total monthly outflow, or gets you out of a loan that is about to reset, it can be. If it only replaces one payment with a more expensive one, it is not, and we will say so.
How much equity do I need for a cash-out refinance with bad credit?
More than a borrower with strong credit needs, because the program lends a smaller share of the value. How much more depends on the program and the score. Knowing roughly what you owe and what the home is worth is enough to start the conversation.
Will applying hurt my credit score further?
Sending this form does not touch your credit. A formal application involves one mortgage inquiry, which has a small and temporary effect, and we tell you before it happens.
