Bad Credit, Low Income. Options for Homebuying?

[Account Closed]

Best option FHA? I'm just trying to build up my credit so I can qualify for it. I'm in an abusive and toxic home situation so I'm trying to get a home fast. I'm not sure if I will qualify for FHA. What other options are there out there for people with bad credit and low income that are feasible options that I'm not aware of?

Step 1: figure out why you have bad credit; some fixes cause immediate improvements like a collection. If you have one pay it. Other simple ways are pay your credit cards off but leave the lines open. 

Step 2: figure out why you have low income. What can you do in the short term to improve it to help with step 1 above. What can you do to drastically improve it over the next several years.

Step 2: learn about personal finance and investing. Read lots of books budget your money, track your net worth, change your mindset.
