Co-signer question

No, the income just has to help lower the overall debt to income ratio on the file. I can crunch the numbers and show you the options if you would like.

No the co-signer will be added to your information. As long as you combined can cover the debt to income levels for the housing and total you should be fine.

The way it works is we look at the COMBINED income and calculate the debt to income ratios using minimum payments (including new housing payment) of your COMBINED payments.. Also understand that we necessarily use the debt, but rather the PAYMENTS associated with your debt.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

No. both of your incomes together are needed to qualify just as both of your credit profiles. If your co-signer has great income or commpliments yours be sure their credit is ok. I had one borrower thinking to add a relative and shrotly found out they her brother was going through a divorce. She came to find out that he and his ex-wife have not made a mortgage payment and are going through foreclosure.

It partly depends whether it is a conventional loan or FHA, but usually your total income is combined as are your debts.
