Buying a home can be an intimidating process for some. Factors that make purchasing a home easy include having a great real estate agent representing you, deciding on a talented lawyer, and of course, having a great loan. Many factors go into what your loan percent will be, a big one is your credit. If you have bad credit purchasing a house can be a challenge, but it can be done. Here is how:

Seek financing from a private party. In some instances you can seek a loan from a private company or a family member. As long as the seller of the property is okay with this arrangement, and he may not be in most instances, you can buy the home.
Seek financing from the seller. In some instances, particularly if the seller knows you and trusts that you can pay back the debt, he or she will finance your loan. Instead of paying the bank each month, you send a check to the seller for an agreed-upon amount.
Put a lot of money down. Your ability to get a loan depends on a few things, your credit, your debt and ability to pay it off, your employment, or cash in, and the amount you will be putting down towards purchase. The higher this amount, the lower your financing rate will be. If you can borrow money or get money gifted to you several months before you think you will be making a purchase, do so. Most banks will not consider gifted money part of your loan package unless it is gifted several months prior to your offer and purchase.
