Find a reputible lender, often times someone you know at a bank or loan company and ask them about first-time home buyers assistance programs.  Many states and individual counties have programs that will approve you based on other criteria other than your credit scores.  Definately check it out and see if you qualify for any programs.  Best of Luck!

Did you try the newspaper? There are lots of crazy lunatics outhere. BE CAREFUL!... If you decide to rent out to an online person, get background information.

Realtors suck big time.   I have just had two very bad experiences.  They will lie to your face to get you to sign stuff.  For example, I was offering 106,000 for a home.  The realtor then added 6 percent to that and some other stuff, all said and done, I paid 115,900.  When I asked him why the numbers were higher than what I wanted to pay, he said "you aren't paying that, the buyer is going to pay the difference".  You are supposed to pay these people to help you and they don't.  They are just as bad as the mortgage companies.

My suggestion to you is to call one of the many Property Rental places. They strictly rent houses for homeowner's who don't want the hassle of collecting rent, fixing things that need fixing,...actually they are go-fors. They do receive a commission but they get all the headaches! You can call them and tell them your situation, sometimes they have or know of homes that will be going on the market for sale in like 4mos or more and would like to rent them out so they can make a few bucks on rent instead of letting them sit empty.  You also might try a realtor and just explain the situation to them they might know of something short term. I would even call the local churches and community centers and explain to them what you need...someone along the way will be able to help you. Watch and see! It'll all work out for the best. Good Luck.

Find out what area you want to live in. Then hope in your car and drive around the area. Look for signs in front of houses. \n\nAgents are a dime a dozen. If you chose one ask for recent referrals. Also go with one that is an area specialist.\n\nThere might be some that are for sale by owner. That person is trying to save money.\n\nIf you need a loan send an email my way. My husband can answer all your loan questions.\n\nGOOD LUCK.

Go to City Hall, ask for HUD assistance, good luck. Have you considered housesitting? You get paid to watch someone else's house.  Have you thought about live-in caretaker? You have options.

My husband and I were faced with the question to build our first home, or just buy.  After talking with plenty of friends who have or are building their home, and doing some research on it - we decided to buy a brand new home instead.  \n\nThe biggest complaints I heard was getting all those permits... water,  sewer, utilities, building... the list goes on.  (Where I live - which is cheap compared to most places, each permit is no less than 500$)\n\nI don't want to discourage you though... perhaps you have a bit more patience than us!  I would just do all the research you can do for the area you live in.  Ask around.

Not really.  If you don't even want to use a firm like FOR SALE BY OWNER, which makes it a bit easier, you should look into buying a home selling kit at your local office store or maybe online.  It will contain all the forms to get you through the whole process.  Make sure on any disclosures about your home that you are truthful.  I can't tell you how ugly it can get if you're not and the buyer catches you on it.  If you want, you can contact me, I have been a Mortgage Broker for about 6 years, I'll answer any other questions for you at no charge..     IM me at jeremyday1978   for yahoo.

Contact 3 banks in your area. Ask friends/family who they have went through and trusted.  Now call the 3 and tell them you are in a market for a home and they will prequalify you for the amount your budget can handle.\n\nNext ask your friends/family for a good Realtor. Don't just open a book and call one, get some great referrals for a hardworking, knowledable-honest one.\n\nRemember a good banker/Realtor will let you know of the fabulous programs out there , (first time home buyer etc). There are many programs out there !\n\nGood luck and enjoy the journey in finding your home. Remember it is stressful finding a home. Oh one last thing, make sure you get a home that will appreciate in value. You want to buy a home that will go up in value not stay the same or go down. A good Realtor will help you with the best appreciating areas of homes.

Hi Christian!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard the esperanza area is a great place to find a cardboard box near the dumpster behind a pizza joint?)\n-zealnik
