Single mom with 2 kids - would like to buy house with no credit or downpayment-need info!?

Just went through divorce and now would like to move on. I have found a house closer to work and would like to buy it. However, the ex has completely ruined credit. Are there any programs out there for single moms to get help with financing?Single mom with 2 kids - would like to buy house with no credit or downpayment-need info!?
I think Housing for urban development (hud.gov) has programs to assist low income families with purchasing a house and for closing costs. You can check that out. Other than through govt help i don't see how you could purchase a house and keep it (interest rates would be so high)Single mom with 2 kids - would like to buy house with no credit or downpayment-need info!?
I'm afraid not. You will most likely have to rent and work to build your credit up again. I know money management sounds like alot of work, it is. But all good things take hard work. You'll be proud of yourself in the long run and have a better edge on life with good credit. Hey, Suse Orman has some great books for women and I'm sure you could check them out of the library.
