i recently applied for a fha loan, and i found out that i need a co signer co borrower to help me to qualify, does it matter if the co signer/borrwer is married or not and yes it is a relative of mine??? If the person is married does the spouse have to be added to the loan as well???

Hi rhodges,

Even if the co-signer is married, the spouse does not have to be added to the loan. As long as the co-signer has good enough credit, he/she can sign on the mortgage. There is no need for his/her spouse to co-sign on the loan and take the responsibility of the mortgage.

It is not mandatory for your husband to apply for loans. If you have the required credit score and income, you can yourself qualify for a loan.
