We figured as much. An aunt offered to be a partner which is great because she is providing "some" additional funding. She also has an account our community credit union and from what I hear, their rates are better than the bank where I have an account. Anyway, I am not really sure how they are different. I was told that it is easier to get a loan for bad credit with a credit union? Is that correct? I checked "loan for bad credit" in google and I am a bit encouraged - BUT - things are going the way they should ...
