Life can get hard and lead to mistakes being made that are not regretted until it leads to getting arrested. For example, an unemployed parent might decide to steal groceries in a desperate attempt to feed his or her children.

It is harder to find a mortgage lender to finance your home purchase when you're in this position — but it's not impossible.
