# 1 – Bad credit is not because of divorce. This is because not live up to the financial obligations which you have registered. # 2 – You do not need to buy a home. You want to buy a home. This unrealistic sense of need vs. want is probably what led to # 1 # 3 – If you want to eventually buy a home, go rent something cheap and clean up derogatory marks on your credit report. (Ie pay your debt.) So, save up a reasonable down payment (20% minimum) and shop for a reasonable home. A reasonable home is one with a 15-year fixed rate mortgage with a payment of up to 25% of your take home pay.
