THERE ARE MANY LOAN COMPANIES, BANKS, MORTGAGE COMPANIES THAT WILL HELP YOU BUY A HOME, REGARDLESS OF YOUR CREDIT RATING. YOU WON'T GET THE BEST RATE BUT IF YOU HAVE A JOB WITH A STEADY PAYCHECK YOU CAN GET APPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE! GO ON LINE AND FIND A MORTGAGE CO. THAT ADVERTIZES "BANKRUPTCY ? NO PROBLEM!" BE PREPARED TO HAVE A GOOD DOWN-PAYMENT AND PROOF OF EMPLOYMENT, OR SOME SOURCE OF IN-COME. DON'T GO WITH THE FIRST CO. THAT SAY'S "OK", SHOP AROUND, IT'S A BUYER'S MARKET RIGHT NOW.
