Is 20k a good enough down-payment on a 300k condo?

I'm currently working on saving my money in the hopes of getting into a rent-to-own type deal. I'm inexperienced with real estate and instead of doing thoughtful research I'd figure that I'd come on reddit and ask people because my generation is lazy.

My credit is mush right now, probably 550, If i paid off my credit cards I could bring it up to 6 something...I only have 3 years of credit history as well, I'm 24.

My plan is to get a roommate to help me pay off the place I'd get into (God willing). I know this also entirly depends on the location so this is what I'm thinking: somewhere in either Colorado or California. I was leaning more towards California because I like being near the city but obviously not within the city because that's too expensive.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
