I stumbled upon this site: http://firstbuyerprograms.com/
It offers a ton of resources for first time home buyers including information about down payment assistance, grants, loans, and programs. There is also a list of resources available in every state.
The site also mentions how "MyFico has some good information on how to raise your credit score so that you’ll qualify for that first mortgage."
I used to post my scores here. However, I'm prone to motion sickness and the ups and downs were nauseating.
