Post     Post subject: father on deed as first borrower

My dad signed for my home as borrower and I am coborrower but I made all payments until I was recently laid off and my mother got sick and I took care of her until her passing. Now I am faced with having to save my home but I can't seem to get any assistance from anyone because he is the borrower of record. Can I do a quit claim deed to get the home in my name so that I may qualify for assistance from local agencies?

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

Quitclaiming the property in your name won't help you in getting any assistance as you would still be listed as a co-borrower of the property. You can ask your dad to apply for a loan modification with the lender. If the lender accepts his request, then, may be, you would receive a low interest rate to make your monthly payments.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Probably 7 years

But you can go for loan probably after 3 years

Hi orli,

It's true that a foreclosure, like any other negative item, would remain on your credit report for 7 years. However, you would be able to get a loan after 3-4 years. You can apply for loans before that but the lender would charge a higher interest rate.

Thanks

Hi curious,

Your credit will not affected just because your spouse has a foreclosure in his/her credit report.

Post     Post subject: Wife on title, not on loan, does foreclosure hurt her score?

Will my wife's credit score be affected if our home is foreclosed, or just mine since the loan is only in my name. Her name is only on the title.

Hi Guest,

As your wife's name is not on the mortgage docs, her credit report will not be affected due to the foreclosure of the property. Your credit score would, however, get reduced by 250 points.

Take care

Hi ngoo,

If the mortgage is in your name, then your credit score would get lowered by 250 points and you would be responsible for paying off the deficient amount to the lender. The foreclosure would remain on your credit report for the next 7 years. Moreover, you won't be able to qualify for a mortgage in the next 3-4 years.

Thanks
