Single female college professor with remaining student loan debt - looking to buy a house. What to do?
I am a 33 year old single female, yearly income appx $45,000. I have rented for 10 years now and want to buy a home. I have two student loans ($20k total) and a car payment ($9k still owed). Not much in savings. Credit score not great from a divorce. I have no idea how to start going about seeing if I can get a loan. Suggestions on steps to take would be welcome.

You should go to a bank to find out what your options are. Your debt is not so bad…you should be able to save a little for a down payment.

Go to you nearst Hud office and apply for a FHA loan there is little or no down payment. and they can help you with the grant problem to. just visit a Hud websit and look at all the information that is there, sound to me like you qualify for a loan now. good luck and check out some down payment assistant programs that are listed on the site why you are there.
