It will all depend on what your credit score is and how bad. If you do have a substantial amount of money to put down on a property your best bet would be to contact a lender and see what you can get qualified for. No matter what amount you do put down, be prepared for a high rate. If you have a substantial amount of money, you may want to work on repairing your credit first.
