You might need a co-signer if an underwriter misunderstands your numbers or if your numbers calc differently than your pre-approval numbers.
Non-U.S. citizens can generally buy a property if they've a tax ID number, however, if there's no credit history, getting a mortgage is not likely. Get a co-signer.
Please DO NOT buy a car the day before your close, or furniture, or any big purchase, because you may lose the deal - the bank check's your credit report the day of the close and re-calculates your debt:income ratio.
Please do not move money around in accounts, because we have to explain it. If the underwriter isn't patient enough, it could tank your application and we find another lender.
So much more...I'll explain it all...call me, and let's get you the smoothest process possible!
