My question is this. Where in the USA is there affortable housing for a family with 4 teens and pets? We can move anywhere. But our credit is poor due to medical bills and other issues. So we have to go rent to own. Serious answers only plz.

Missouri. We are centrally located, its a great place to raise a family. Our cost of living in most cases is lower than just about anyplace else. You can live anyplace in the state and be no more than 4-5 hours away from a major city. We have a great state college system, many of which rank among the highest in the country. Just about every kind of religion flourishes here, but you don't have to have one at all. For affordable housing I would suggest the Springfield area, but you can find affordable housing just about anyplace in Missouri. Many of our state attractions are free, great parks, great sports, great schools and great families.
Come visit us and see if you don't want to stay.

the midwest is always noted for their cheap cost of living. and it would be a central location so if the hubby is an o/o then it may be handy for him as well. say Arkansas, missouri area. And I forgot to mention, Joplin, MO has some pretty good schools and plenty of choices of colleges in the area. although it is also known to be the gay capital of MO if that matters. Also 44 is a major highway that runs thru Joplin so there are a lot of drugs in the area. well, anyways. Joplin may be worth a look.

You are in deep doo-doo.
First, you are probably looking for a place that has at least 3 bedrooms, and knowing most Americans with teens who want private bedrooms, as many as 5 bedrooms or more. On top of that you are low-moderate income and have bad credit. You will find it hard to locate a willing landlord/owner (esp. if you desire to rent to own and no just own OR rent).
Contact your local housing authority (or one in the community you wish to move to). They may have or know of programs that can accommodate your situation. They ensure affordability (if you are eligible) and have a higher percentage of larger homes available to them.
