I have a low credit score from back when I was a kid. I have a 05 Jeep Wrangler I paid cash for and I just paid my grandmothers mortage off and she gave me her house. However, I gave it right back to her as a life estate. So Im not sure if I could qualify for a first time buyers plan. I dont want to put her house up as collateral. However, I need to borrow about 60k to purchase a fixer upper home in my area. I have a steady job, a cosigner (mom) and even plan on having at least one room mate. I also have 5% put back in savings, plus 3 months mortage and bills in savings. I tried Eloan/Lending Tree and was denied. I have no outstanding blls and have paid my rent on time for my luxury apartment, early for over a year which proves I can afford a smaller house note! Who should I turn to? (I definitly want less than 10% intrest) Thanks!

Which credit company has the most important score? I think my score is around 600. Its going up soon because I disputed a lot of charges that wasnt mine.

This is a reasonable situation and well explained. The fact that you have a co-signer can definitely help. The first thing I would want to do is make sure the credit score is as high as it could be. This can be improved in 1 week if you know what to look for.

You need to tell us your score. I am a mortgage banker and the score is important here. Less than 565 you can probably forget it unless there is a seller carry back second deed of trust.
