How to buy a home with bad credit

Bad credit does not have to keep you renting. Seller financing is one of the most direct paths to ownership.

Your options

  • Seller financing: buy directly from the owner, no credit check.
  • Government-backed loans: some accept lower scores, but still check credit and income.
  • Co-signer: a family member qualifies with you.
  • Wait and rebuild: improve your score, then apply for a mortgage.

Why seller financing is often the fastest

There is no underwriting, so you can move in within days of choosing a home, and you can still refinance with a bank later once your credit improves.

Common questions

What credit score do I need?

None. We do not pull credit.

Does a past bankruptcy or eviction matter?

No. We do not run background or credit checks.
