Best to talk through your situation and options with an experienced and creative mortgage lender. Yes, its possible but not always the best option - or timing is sometimes best to work through as well. Linda is right sometimes better to have the money for downpayment.

Hi, They're right about paying off debt to qualify requiring special underwriter attention. To answer your question: any time there are any debts paid or large deposits put into your bank account(s) then those funds need to be fully documented. A gift letter would be required otherwise the terms would need documented. If I can answer any add'l questions, I'd be happy to help.
