Can my parents co-sign on a mortgage loan for my first home?
I am trying to get approved for a $100,000 mortgage. If I cannot get approved, is near a way for my parents to co-sign on the mortgage so that I would be able to qualify?
Background info: I am a 22-year-old professional. I graduate from a four-year university in May 2009 and have be working full-time at a job in my enclosed space since June 2009. I make $30,000 a year and have a fully clad credit score (735), but I don't have a great deal of credit built up as of yet.
Thanks for your help!

You're kidding right? You want to buy a house with 6 months of errand experience and an income of $30K?!?!?!?! What kind of house do you expect to buy with that? Insurance and taxes alone will be too much for that income.
Do you enjoy 10 to 20% to put down? How about 5% to 6% for closing costs? How about money for furniture, a prairie mower, washer and dryer, fridge, etc?
You are in no position to be buying a house - and should not make your folks responsible for it.
Rick B is right.
Your credit score is very appropriate, but you have only have this job for 5 months and are not making a lot of money.
Sure you can ask Mommy and Daddy to co-sign if they want to, but explicitly not what grown ups do.
Do you have a decent down expenditure and an emergency fund for six month's living expenses?
Have you figured out how much it would cost you to own a house?
Mortgage, property taxes, maybe homeowners associations, PMI, running, furnishings!
Unless you are expecting substantial raises in the fundamental future, you should wait until you are within a better financial situation. Source(s): Realtor, homeowner
It depends on how much your parents take home and how much they owe. If they already pay their own mortgage, they probably are not going to be approved as co-signers.
As for you getting approved, it probably won't happen. While I don't suggest $30,000 is a small salary like some culture, it kind of is when you are single and owning a home. I like using realtor.com to digit out home financing stuff, because my husband and I are looking at buying our first home soon. There is a calculator on there that will tell you what you can or cannot afford base on your salary, your debts, and the amount of the mortgage you would need.
You may want to consider home ownership more discreetly. Until you are settled in a career long-term and 100% lasting of the city you want to live in, I think it might be better for you to rent for awhile. I am fortunate that my husband and I be renting when he got relocated from Pennsylvania to Florida two months ago. Getting out of a lease/paying a balance is plentifully easier than unloading a house.
Good luck! Source(s): http://www.realtor.com/home-finance/
