So, I am 5 months pregnant and would like to sell my house move to a better home. I have found the home I want. Problem is I have bad credit (510 is my score, I think) I owe around 20,000 on my house now. It appraised for 60,000. The furnace doesn’t work right now, some rooms were in the middle of being remodled. So it’s not in the best condition. The new house I want is about 80,000. I do not have a job, because I am pregnant and in College. How do I go about getting a new house? If I can’t, could my boyfriend? He also has bad credit. But, he would be a first time mortgage buyer.
Please help….I am dying to move out of this crappy house.
