Hi jamieusmc!

Welcome to forums!

Your husband can cosign for the FHA loan which will help you in getting a mortgage for your property. You will have to contact the Texas based FHA approved lenders in order to do so. You've mentioned that you are a disabled vet. In that case, why don't you apply for VA loans?

Hi jamieusmc,

As far as I know, borrowers with a credit score of 620 will be able to qualify for a VA loan.

Thanks
