Are you considering adding a co-signer to your loan application to improve your chances of approval? Incorporating a co-signer can indeed increase the apparent income on your application, potentially making you a more attractive candidate to lenders. However, the criteria for who can serve as a co-signer can vary significantly depending on the type of loan you are applying for.
For those looking into government-backed loans such as VA, FHA, or USDA loans, the requirements for co-signers tend to be more stringent. On the other hand, conventional loans typically have more relaxed standards when it comes to co-signers. As you navigate the complexities of securing a mortgage, it’s crucial to consider all the factors that lenders evaluate.
