Wouldn’t stated be NON-conforming? Also, I’m sure they would both like to be on the loan. Any way to do this conventionally?

I’m not going to spend my hours looking for a non-conventional loan that doesn’t have an issue with seasoning. I know FHA doesn’t.

Talked with someone with the wife whose credit is good enough for conventional, husband’s is shot. I don’t have exact numbers, but I gathered it is WAY shot, and hers is WAY good.

Here’s the kicker. She shows low income, he shows high. Read SHOWS. They are looking at putting down 20%, and getting a co-signer. I don’t think it needs to be that drastic.

So that’s how the deal sits. Mega cash (not an issue), good/bad credit. Can they get FHA? I’m looking at a double close situation, which is going to be an issue for non-conforming. I think they might be first time. I suppose I should have asked.

It’s a friend of mine, and I know I can find her a place, below market. They are looking at getting out of the rental scene, and MIGHT consider l/o. I know I could set that up, but I get the feeling they would like to go more conventional. As well, I would. I don’t feel like being my friend’s landlord, for any length of time.

SO, what to do?

Go stated, there are several programs out there as long as her score is where you say it is.
