Hold on to them and help them fix up their credit. Most people just dont know what steps they need to take to fix their credit up. A short consultation normally helps. Of course you want to keep in touch with your clients on a consistent basis to make sure you dont lose them.
Another scenario is getting them into a lease option. During the lease period of the plan, once again I go back to helping them fix their credit. Once the credit is fixed they can choose to purchase the house from the current owner.
