CREDIT REQUIREMENT

| Credit score requirements differ from lender to lender. Example: I can lend down to 550 on FHA loans (10/2/2009). If you co-borrower makes the loan stronger through income or some other compensating factor and his credit is above the 550 mark, it might help. |

if there's a lender out there who can offer loans and actually get them approved at scores as low as 550, that eliminates the conjecture about 620 being the minimum. yes, 620 is a "guideline," but it is a specific lender's guideline and perhaps even most lenders. however, if fha will continue to insure loans that have lower scores - again, down to 550 - then the applicable score for people is actually 550, as long as they're doing business with those specific lenders who have that guideline. _________________ George M.

|
|
A non-occupant co-borrower is on the mortgage and on title.
A non-occupant co-signer is not on title and not on the mortgage.
Is it possible to support a borrower through my own credit without being on the mortgage but having a name on the title (as a security for myself)? |

if you cosign then you are "on" the mortgage. the mortgage is the debt. if you are on title as well as on the underlying debt, that makes you an owner. most people needing cosigners are not looking for another owner. if you are not secure in your cosigning, guess what! don't do it! _________________ George M.

it is possible, yes; but it's a long-term solution. clearly, long before your own home would be at jeopardy, you'd have had ample opportunity to resolve the other situation. _________________ George M. Akerley

Yes it is possible. If the payment is not done on the house you co-sing as agreed there is a good possibility that the lender can come after your assests after a court judegement
But also rememebr it is nto only your assets but your credit historywill also have a big impact |

ithink you need to talk with other lender, fha min requirement 620 credit score and your credit scores up to that you are easily take fha loan because your credit score is fair.
