Co-Borrower on Mortgage?
fstadler is absolutely correct. If your goal is to improve your interest rate, then you may want to look at having your credit report rescored. It takes a bit of time, and maybe some cash, but if you are able to reach certain middle score thresholds, you can achieve your goal.

The direction in which cash is flowing in the global financial markets is what we must be mindful of. Recently, rates appeared to be on a steady uptick, then...

I am in chapter 7 bankruptcy and will have discharged in August 27, 2012. Is there any way to get a mortgage on a new home
Good morning - agree with the guidelines being quoted to you - 2 yrs on FHA, 3-4 on Conventional. However, you may want to look at doing a "Contract for Deed". Many sellers today are considering this form of owner-financing as long as there is a light at the end of the tunnel - aka you refinance...
