Hi everyone,
My parents bought a home 3 yrs ago, and I am a co-borrower for that loan. I lived with them at the time, but now I am married and I moved to a different town. They have been paying on time, but now they want to modify the mortgage loan; however, to get this done, they will need to get behind in payments. I want to buy a house, but my guess is that if they get behind in payments, it will lower my credit score, and probably will affect my ability to buy a house. How terrible is for my credit to have a delinquency in that mortgage?? by the way, my name will be removed from the loan once it is modified. Thank you!!!!!!! |

sandra, you are going to need to find out specifically what the lender has in mind. if the modification is, in essence, a refinance (how else is your name being taken off?), then you really won't have a worry, in my estimation.
are your parents being encouraged to fall behind in order to make this modification work? that's a possibility, i suppose, but not a smart thing, and i would have to think it's not at all necessary. in any event, if they do fall behind, that can hinder you. _________________ George M. Akerley
