Default Re: First-time home buyer, buying from parent

Wow, that's actually quite a handful of important tasks to manage. However, I would try to handle it in the following order:

1. Focus on finding a part time job.

2. Pay off all outstanding debts and fix your credit.

3. Save up 43k. Buy the house with cash up front.

It wouldn't be easy, but I think it's quite doable. It will also save you a lot more money in the long run.
