How does applying for a loan when married work? Let’s say one spouse has income and the other has none? Can I have only one name on the title or loan? TIA by rick152 from Chandler, Arizona. Oct 21st 2022
AZ is a community property state. That said, you CAN have only one spouse on title, and only one spouse on the loan. OR, you can both be on title, but have only one of you on the loan. In a community property state however, if you are applying for VA, FHA or USDA financing, the credit obligations for both spouses must be factored into your debt to income ratio for qualifying purposes. If it is conventional financing you are applying for, nothing at all will be needed from the non-borrowing spouse.
