try contacting HUD (housing and urban development), they may be able to help you... with such a low fico score you should wait a while until you repair your credit... if there is a lender that is willing to help you at this point, you will probably end up paying tons of fees in closing costs, a very high interest rate, and you could be taken advantage of... the first thing you should do is pull your credit report from ALL THREE REPORTING AGENCIES, and make sure they are accurate... a few years ago i pulled my credit reports and found stuff that wasnt supposed to be there... be careful of letting lenders pull your credit because every time they do it lowers your fico score...
