If you feel your score is low...ask a lender about the rapid rescore program.  This program will give you step by step instructions to getting you score up in a matter of days.....It may be called something different in another state.

alot goes into a determination for a loan, amt of ssi, credit score and state loan programs available for disabilities, etc., a good agent can lead you to the right program for you,

Depending upon how much he receives, what other debts he has and how strong his credit is he could possibly qualify. If not a lease with option or land contract may be another route to explore. Have you had any luck as of yet? If not please you can email me at RerhiTheRealtor@gmail.com although I am not close to Battle Creek I have an awesome loan officer who could at least guide you through the process.

Good Luck

You will need to speak to a lender. He/she will need to look at your credit report, gross income and other debts to determine your eligibility.

I find the information on Zillow here to be quite useful.  Scroll down to "mortgage map".
