I dont know if you are still looking or not, but I would like to help. $5-6K is really plenty to put down...the real question is your credit score. When you say it's not great, what exactly do you mean? I would love to give you a chance to talk to a lender in my office that can help you raise it in a few months to a level that would work to get you a loan. Feel free to email me and I can get you in contact with her... [email address removed by moderator]

First thing I would suggest is to find out exactly how low your credit score happens to be as that will be the determing factor for if you will even qualify for a loan. As long as your FICO scores are above 600 and your employed you have a shot for getting at least an FHA loan (prefer above 620). Please contact a mortgage professional to see if they can help you.
Have you'll owned a home within the last 3 years? If not, then you might also qualify for some first time homebuyer programs as well.
I see that your in the Bryan area, you might qualify for USDA financing (100% financing, but need a 640 minimum credit score) and definately FHA financing (3.5% down payment and need a minimum 600 FICO score). These credit score minimums I quote you are based upon the universe of lenders I work with. Other lenders might have different thresholds.
Good luck to you.
