Can't get approved and need to move......

Rent a apaertment if you have to. Tell you can aquire a loan.

apartment I meant.

Have you looked at other rental places? Owning a home is so much more than just paying a mortgage.

Look for an apt.

And, JeremysMom is right, there's also property taxes & homeowners insurance.

Yep, find somewhere else to rent.

It sounds at this point your best option is to get a new rental. Even if you got approval on a loan today 90 days is a very tight squeeze to close on a home. If you can't get a VA loan you need to come up with a down payment, closing costs, insurance money, which on a 53,000 home is a minimum of 4,000.

If you want to exhaust all options before you give up to the life of a renter: You can look at other types of loans or grants. Check out your state's housing and urban development websites to see if there is anything you uniquely qualify for. The only other option is to make more money (although 90 days to prove income is going to cut it close), come up with a much higher down payment, get a co-signer (which is essentially renting from a relative) .;

Why cant you get approved, is it from credit or income? Don't give up!

Yeap, rent a small apartment, duplex or older home.

or you could try for a "rent to own"; you'd pay more in the long run but you might find a good deal.

This is a very bad situation that is happening to a lot of people all over the country. The bank rates are low so people can afford a home yet the rules are so stringent you cant get the loan. This has gone from you degree to another when the government bailed the banks out. I would suggest to keep trying other banks. Call like fifty to try and get a loan. If not there is such loans that are not governed by Fannie May and Freddie mack called hard money loans. If you get denied ask every bank if they have this type of loan. Never walk away with just a No, always get a suggestion. Also, with regard to people having a hard tiem getting loans please write your congress person.
