There are financers out there that will give him a loan for about 24%, maybe
up to 30%. If he can do that for a year or two, he may then be able to
refinance when he has a credit history. If he's been paying a phone bill and
utilities, those are also part of a credit history. He should be able to get
his leasers, apt. owners he's been paying rent fees to, to provide him
letters of reference directly related to their history with him.
