How to invest with horrible credit

[Ernie Thivierge]

hello everyone. 

I could use some advise.  I'm recently divorced and need to move within the next couple of months. During the divorce my credit got crushed. Had to short sale my house and my x wife got her truck repossessed which was under my name. I was going to rent for two years while I rebuilt credit. Are there any ways to control and    Invest in a property I'm living in then sell for a profit in two years when I'm ready to buy a more suitable house? Or am I pretty much stuck renting until my credit goes up? I appreciate any advice. Thank you!
