Can I co-sign with a bankruptsy
Hi. My younger sister is buying her first home and asked me to co-sign the loan with her. Although I said yes, I have yet to tell her I filed for Chapter 11 in 2012. I was wondering if this will effect her approval at all? Should I tell her? by feamster582 from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Oct 19th 2018

You don't need to tell her and it shouldn't affect your ability to qualify assuming you've re-established credit.

More info needed.. but in general, BK's have a 2-3 year waiting period for FHA 4 year for conventional. Since yours was 6 years ago, then it shouldn't be a problem.. how ever, you must have reestablished credit and you would need to meet all the other eligibility requirements to qualify.. as far as her not knowing, if you do agree to cosign and you don't want her to know, be sure to tell your loan officer so he dosent slip and say something he shouldn't.
