The two biggest things you can do are 1) Accumulate as much of a down payment as possible and 2) Get your credit scores as high as you can by pulling your credit report and looking for any negative items that are in error and have them fixed. You can also move money around between credit lines or increase some of them so you aren't over 50% of any line. One other thought, if you are self employed, make sure you aren't pushing the tax envelope so much you show little taxable income. Good luck.
