With a bad credit, it would be impossible for you to get a loan. If you keep in mind the current market situation, lenders won't even consider giving you a loan if you have a bad credit. For FHA loans, you would require a credit score of 620 whereas for conventional loans, you would require a credit score of 720-740.

It would be better if you could improve your credit score first and then apply for loans. You can check out the given page to know some steps to improve your credit score:

As far as the IRS lien is concerned, you should contact them and check out if you can get a repayment plan in order to clear the tax dues.
