We recently found a house that is on the market for a rent to own type deal, we love the house but our credit isnt very good. Mine is 526, and his is around 450. Is there any options for us to get the house that we are looking at, or will we be stuck renting it??

FIRST ANSWER

There are programs that do offer financing to people in your circumstance. I have just sent several of my clients to attend these in the State of Wisconsin. However, I am not sure about Illinois.

I have a full day tomorrow, but I will try to do some research for you to find out where they are located in your state.

Hope that helps.
