PLEASE reserve your judgments; NOT what I need right now. I'm a combat veteran, a descent man. I've been married for 4 years to a woman who, in many ways, saved my life. I've been sober for 1 year and found out yesterday that I'm gonna be a daddy! Problem is: I have poor credit and little in savings. The thought of buying a house has been all I can think of for the past 24 hours (that and the fact that I'm gonna have the best family ever!). What tools are available to me, as a veteran, in order to help me buy a house? Sounds cliche, but I'm not looking for a hand out, just a step up. Jesus I've been so freaking selfish regarding my finances. I hope it's not too late for someone like me to own a home! Any advice would be appreciated!
Edit: I make 48k/yr. I have a 18k in an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Program) account that I'll get in May of this year. And I have a couple of credit card accounts. I also have about $2500 left to pay on my car note.
