Question: #2: Home loan?
My boyfriend is applying for a FHA home loan today, he has great credit, 700's and has had a job for awhile. The only thing is that he has cut back hours lately because of going to school and work and they asked for his last month of pay stubs. Usually he makes about 1500 a month take home but has only made about 100 this past month because of tests and essays and what not. Will they not accept him based on this? Not to mention that was an intern, he has been hired in at chrysler for the summer making 3000 a month (750 a week).We live in michiganhe was going to rent but it was suggested he buy and build equity, hes already guaranteed a job at chrysler. He also has a very good down payment (20k), hes doing the FHA loan because he wants to flip the house he buys so he can make a good profit on it 2 or 3 yrs down the line when he sells. - asked by BUFFCHICK25

Question: #19: Trying to qualify for a home loan. Will adding myname to my parents savings account help?
I've been doing alot of research in terms of qualifying for a home loan and can't seem to find an answer to this. Many home loans require you to show a bank account statement of atleast 3 months of savings. I unfortunately don't have that but the monthly mortage is not an issue. Will my parents adding my name to their savings account allow me to still use that account as proof of the 3+ months savings to qualify for the loan? Will this help in any way towards getting approved for the loan. Thanks! - asked by michaeldorian
