Hello, this is my first time posting here because no one in my family is good with money. I'm currently living with my soon to be wife and we are living in her great aunts house, paying $500 a month + utilities. We both work full time, we make enough to pay rent and buy food and all that. Yesterday, her great aunt came to collect rent, but basically told us we have to buy the house for what is left on her mortgage, or we have to leave so she can sell the house. Knowing that the house is not worth her aunts asking price, my girlfriend and I started doing some house hunting, found a few gems that we could afford monthly payments on and bills but ran into a snag: She has no credit and I have poor credit that will hopefully be fixed in the next few weeks, she and I make roughly $2.5k a month. How should we go about getting a mortgage or an FHA?
TL;DR: How can two 21 year olds with full time jobs buy a house?
