Hello, My brother wants to buy a home, his credit is average but he does have a large amount of money saved, enough for a down payment and enough money saved to make payments for at least 3 to 4 years and I have no doubts in him being able to make the mortgage payments. Now my question is What would be an easier process me Co-Signing for him or me purchasing the home and adding him to the deed, since his credit score is a 626 just average at this point? This is something I do not mind doing at all so just want to help him out to make it an easier process.

Hi Javier_Pvn,

With a credit score of 626, your brother would be able to get a FHA loan easily. In that case, you do not need to be the co-signer for the loan. If he wants a conventional mortgage and if you have a good credit (more than 700), then you can co-sign for him. Later on, when your brother's credit score improves, he can refinance the mortgage in his name.

Take care.
