It depends on the type of loan you co-signed on & if he was just late making the payments each month or if he just didn't make a payment for 2 months.

For the fha mortgage insurance i'm told i'm going to pay 1.3% every month??
If you are under 95% loan to value, the factor you use is 1.3%. But, it is annually. So take your loan amount & multiply it by 1.3% and then divide that by 12. That will give you your monthly mortgage insurance for FHA. If I can be of any further assistance, feel free to call or email me.Brandon Brady | 801.716.5241 | b...
Appraisal question?

Once the review is complete, if the appraisal is good, you will typically recieve it within 24 hours of the lender recieving it. If the review catches anything that is wrong with the appraisal,...
would like to buy a home in 3-6 months. Should I get pre-qualified now?
Absolutely Yes! This will allow you to be in the best position for when you do find the house you want.

The builder will typically require a deposit which varies from builder to builder. You can get your deposit back when you close on your...
Are child support payments received counted towards my income for approval purposes?
Your child support payments that you recieve are counted as income as long as they will continue for 3 or more years. Most lenders will also want to see that the payments have been recieved consistently for the past 12 months.
Do FHA loans always require 20% down?
Absolutely not! Most of the time it is just 3.5% down.
missed payment
You are not disqualified for only having one 30 day late payment in the last 12 months, I do these all the time and many lenders can as well. What I would be more concerned with getting around is the back end DTI of 62%. FHA will typically cap you at 57% DTI on the back end and that is going to get harder to do...
