I have bad credit and I want to buy a home with under 1,000 down in springfield mo

Good luck.

If you find a way to do it, let me know. I have bad credit and am having trouble finding a mortgage company even though I have $40k to put down.

Basically, it's not likely to happen for you.

I agree, not going to work. Bad credit might stop you from getting a mortgage but with only $1000 no bank will take the risk, your new house could be upside down in a month and the bank doesn't like mortgages like that, at least any more
