I'm trying to buy my first home and have low fica scores. I am working with someone currently who says that they can get me pre-approved for $50 or more. I have fallen in love with a house and would like to purchase it. I think I can pick it up for less, but that does not help my situation either. Can someone point me in the right direction? By the way, I'm in upstate NY.

Don't lose hope if you're looking to buy a home. There are so many different ways to fund a home now, just about anyone with any kind of credit can get into a home, regardless of credit situation.
Of course, some will cost you more money in the long run, but a home it's still one of the best investments that you can make, so, in many cases, it's worth it, especially for the first year of ownership.
You should shop around, and ask different lenders what kind of programs they have, and if they can help. Try to find a lender that specializes in bad credit mortgages. You can find some bad credit mortgage lenders listed on this page on and off:

Try to find a private lender. They will charge you more interest but they will give you the loan with the property as collateral. You might find one by contacting different lawyers that handle property. They often have clients that will give loans under those conditions or can head you in the right direction.

I work for Citibank and I am sure there are local branches that are in NY for you. If you would like some assistance I can help even with a low Fico score. Citibank isn't driven strictly on credit scores.

Are you able to qualify for a mortgage, (can afford the principle,taxes and insurance and stay within the ratios required? If yes, then you MIGHT still be able to get approved, but your rate will be higher. Only way to be sure is talk to a mortgage broker or real estate agent
