Opportunity to buy house ok credit,self employed

[Justice Nelson]

Hi Everyone, I’m looking for some advice on going about purchasing my first home.We have come upon the opportunity to purchase the home we have been living in for the past two years through some unfortunate circumstances.

My current financial situation is good and looking to improve but my wife and I don’t have the best credit and we are both self employed 1099 contractors so our job history isn’t as stable as 9-5ers. On the upside we have access to a co -signer with a good credit score. So my question is can anyone point us in the right direction to get this first property under our belt!

Any and all advice is greater appreciated
