(Loan amount around $90k) My parents are willing to co-sign for me. Is it possible to go conventional rather than FHA with a non-occupant co-borrower? I hate to pay MI with an LTV that low.

You have a large amount of down payment which will work in your favor. Your parent can co-sign on the loan for you. They do not necessarily have to occupy the house to co-sign. They are merely trying to help in qualifying for the loan. It is not mandatory for them to live in the property. With the LTV as low as 60%, there is no need to purchase a mortgage insurance.

Take care.

She is willing to sell at what her mortgage is to them. Son inlaw is self-employed and cannot qualify for a conventional loan. Can we parents co-sign for their loan and willing to gift them 20% of loan amount? They have been living in the house since last August and could prove that they are making the payments.

Is that the plan? If so, you need not provide gift funds of 20 per cent...they'd need 3.5% down. Cosigning is always a reasonable option if, for some reason, their income is insufficient to qualify for the loan. If you're speaking of cosigning for the purpose of bolstering credit, that's not something that would actually work. Their credit situation would need to stand on its own. _________________ George M.
