Here’s a good guide on how to increase your chances of owning a home even if you don’t have perfect credit:
A mortgage broker will find and deal with loan institutions, with no up front expenses to you. Once they get you a loan at a good rate and the deal is going to be finalized, you will pay them a fee.
