Priority #1 progress - applying for a mortgage

In an effort to get Priority #1: Finding a Place to Sleep moving, I checked on a locally advertised company, Freedom Financial Services.  They open at 10 a.m. in the Chapel Hills Mall, so I am going to go down there and see if there is anything they can do.  They have something called a nonconforming loan, which their website says could be the ticket for people with less-than-good credit.  Hey, if I come away from today knowing my credit is just too bad to get a home loan, I can at least eliminate this option from my list.
