Here's our situation. We have been renting the same place for 10+ years and want to buy a small home that's for sale. My fiance gets paid cash (and gets paid enough to cover the estimated mortgage). We don't have great credit (minor flaws from probably 5+ years ago).
Obviously, I'm prepared to hear that I'm crazy for bothering. What steps should I take to improve our chances of obtaining a home? Are there any programs or loans that might give us a shot? (We're in CT, if that helps.) We have little family and we really don't even know who to talk to, so any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
