It’s much more difficult to secure a mortgage that way and you will be paying exploitive interest rates. It’s like saying offering up collateral or buying a house outright is path to home ownership- something the vast majority of homebuyers can not do.
Most people that don’t have a credit rating don’t have the secondary information they’ll ask for to do the manual underwriting process, and it seems nobody publishes direct data sets on no credit rating loans, but I did find some estimates at around 0.5-2% that’s still thousands of mortgages a year but not really significant amount overall.
I thought it was closer to 8-10% but that was bullshit after looking into it more to get the numbers above, and if it’s only 2% then I’ll rescind the original statement & stand corrected, that’s for any practical measure a requirement.
