Donna,
Owner Financing for yourself would by ideal (doesn’t show on credit report). Even a Lease/Option with good amount of rent credit towards the purchase price and a right to renew for five or so years would also be good (clear up credit by then).
Sounds good either way.
Good Luck!
My personal credit isn’t so bad, except that some of my former significant other’s bankruptcy accounts appear on MY credit report…granted, it’s been over 2 yrs since this was discharged, it still appears. And I DO have a good mortgage credit rating though.
Is Owner financing the best way to go?
I can’t imagine ANY bank NOT checking my credit and it will take MONTHS to fix that bs in report.
Get involved with a partner if you wish to purchase investment property. You can purchase one or more investment properties with your down payment.
hope this helps!!!
Donna,
If you have the down payment and a credit score of at least 560 you can probably get a non-conforming loan. You probably would have put down 10%. Wait another year and it will get easier for you. Hope that helps.
