 Qualifying For A Loan – Easy Ways To Raise Your Credit Score Buying a home can be a very exciting time. Getting started can also feel overwhelming. Can I even qualify for a loan? How much should I have in savings? I wonder what my credit score is now? These are all legitimate questions a potential home buyer has, even if this is not your first home purchase. Understanding the loan process, how to qualify and how your credit can affect the loan program, is a necessary first step.

It started with a small dorm room and now that you are both thriving in your careers, you have a nice apartment overlooking the pool. As the parade of the “wrong people” stream in and out of your lives, you wonder if it makes sense to buy a home together and enjoy the financial benefits. Buying a property with a friend is a big decision, but if neither of you foresee a change in your lifestyle in the near future, it might make sense.Benefits Of Buying A Home With A Friend      Easier to qualify for a mortgage: Let’s face it two incomes are better than one.  If you are applying with a friend, the lender can consider both applicants income and credit.
