Credit Ratings & Bad Credit : How to Buy a House With a Bad Credit Score

Yes I agree going to a desperate seller would be a good option. But after that it is still important to be taking constant actions daily to improve your credit score for future lending.

I agree with Paun. Lexington is the best way to go. They were really helpful to my best friend. Now he wont shut up about them.

[Paun Deilin]

I suggest getting your credit repaired... its going to save you thousands if you can lower your interest rate. I went though Lexington Law. They helped me out a bunch. I suggest them to anyone.

What other options are available if lease option doesn't work out?
