If you opt for FHA financing (3.5% down payment), your max would be around $200k, assuming $3k/year in property taxes, $900/year in homeowners insurance ... payment would be around $1,500/mo.

The credit history is fine since all of the negative items are from 3+ years ago, where did you get your credit scores from though? Here at myFICO.com? If so, your scores should be fine.

Virginia has a statewide down payment assistance program too - http://www.dhcd.virginia.gov/index.php/housing-programs-and-assistance/68-down-payment-assistance-dpa.html

I I just pulled my score from MY FICO today. I couldn't get pre approved before because I told the loan officer that I paid the collections. He told me to call back after they updated. Its been a month in a half and Experian and Equifax have verified it as still unpaid. I guess because it was paid to the OC. So I want to see can I get preapproved now.

Even if the collections weren't paid it wouldn't be an issue, in my opinion nothing about your situation that you've mentioned will prevent you from getting qualified.
