Does anyone know of any real estate or rental property companies who let people rent/own homes w/ bad credit?!

you might want to try remax or coldwell banker depending where you are looking because each state is different

If you have the cash and available credit, buy one home with the cash and put your availble credit towards a rental property, which will eventually pay for itself. Just a thought. :)

My husband and I had the same problem two years back for the same reasons. We tried everything, even those ads that say they will loan you money with bad credit. It was a scam and we were out a few thousand dollars so be careful of those. We eventually found a person who was willing to do a land contract or lease to own. We leased the house we are in for two years and then when we bought it the money we paid in rent those two years was the down payment on the house. We went through his Credit Union and it was a fairly easy process. He was a HUGE help to us. So I would suggest that route if you can!\n Good luck and I hope all works out for you!

There may be such a company. If I were you I would not believe a word of it. If something sounds too good to be true it probably is. Good luck friend. I wish you well. Nobody unless it is a charitable organization will help you with credit problems for free.

Most states have a first time homebuyer program available for people who have never owned before, low credit score are acceptable, your income must be below a maximum guideline.  Low interest rates and immediate second morgtages for closing costs are usually available.  Chech with you local banks, they will know what programs are available.\nGood Luck!

The only way to fix your problem is to sell to a house buyer. They will let you pay rent to stay in your home than sell it back to you at market value when you've fixed your credit. But only if there is potential marketable value to your home.\n\nAnd a private lender will end up costing you more. Ck into FHA

Excellent question!  As a private investor, I know that there are people that own homes with the sole intention of renting them, that do not follow guidelines such as running credit checks and requesting renting referrals.  I do believe you have a better chance at renting a home than renting an apartment in a complex.  Apartment managers can be very diligent in ensuring they run credit, back ground, and renting history records; however, homes are generally owned by individual investors that are typically more interested in you accepting the rental terms than pursuing back ground investigations.

Good credit is very important in obtaining financing for real estate. Without knowing all the details, you are very much looking at two options: paying high interest on your home loan and/or putting up a lot of down up-front. Good luck!

If you owe money to the IRS, pay it off.\nThere are many lenders that do mortgages for people with less than perfect credit. Some will do 100% financing with credit scores of 580+. You should know exactly what your credit score is and you there are many places that you can get a free report.\nNo bank will finance you with IRS liens, but if they are not liens yet and you are paying them, call a broker in your area and see what you can do. It is always better to own than rent.

No, Dont know of any that would be foolish enough to give you a loan without a credit check. The very thought suggest you might be better off working for someone instead of a small business. Or maybe take some courses at your local college.

That isn't going to be easy.  Most places do a credit check.  There are ways with good credit to buy with no money down.  An individual might sell you real estate that way, but it isn't a wise way to do business.

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!

Use the money for a down payment on a house and use the credit score to your advantage by getting a low interest rate. You might consider buying a duplex that has good potential, and then charging over what you owe on the loan. Then you could eventually save up enough money to buy another house and rent it out. \n\nIt's just one idea that has worked for people that i know.

I have horrible credit myself and couldn't even get a credit card. However, I could buy a car at one of those buy here pay here places that does in house financing. I have the payment taken directly out of my checking account and I'm sure once I pay off my Cadillac, my credit will be somewhat ok. The interest rate sucks but it is well worth it to repair my credit. If I don't I will never be able to buy a home. Even try one of those rent a center places.
