The lender will look at the credit of all the borrowers whose income is used to qualify and take the lowest of the middle fico of all borrowers. You may get a better rate if you state your household income and use only one borrower credit. With excellect credit, the stated credit borrower can get same as fully documented income up to 90 % ltv with 730 FICO.
Talk to your local mortgage company and they can advise pros and cons of both options.
question about a mortgage loan? - Posted by Jennifer

Does anybody know if I could borrow money on a mortgage using my credit and our (my husband and I) income? Or will they need to see my husbands credit report. The reason im asking is probably obvious. My husband has bad credit and were trying to purchase our first home. What are the odds of us finding a mortgage company that will finance us with one credit report but 2 incomes? Than-x for the input
