Sure... We even allow for Dad to not occupy the house with you if that is what you need. I am just right around the corner in West St Paul. Stop in, call (651) 552-3681, or visit MNBestRates.com to apply.

Yes, both you and your Dad can be on the mortgage but there are different guidelines depending on whether your best option is a conventional or FHA loan. Your best bet is to contact a Lender 411 Mortgage Professional in your area. They can go over your situation and give you the best advice. Good Luck.

Yes you can. Adding a non-occupying co-borrower will help with income qualifying if that's a concern or if you both want to own together, no problem. It won't help if the issue is credit problems. With my 35 years experience in the industry, I can help make your transaction smooth a speed bump free. I can be reached at 763-519-1100. Good luck!

If dad is over 62, and there is a large down payment, or lots of equity, you may want to look at a reverse mortgage.

All good answers so far, all I would add, is that you should find a local, licensed mortgage originator to assist you in sorting through your options. If theyonly provide one choice, find someone who will show you benefits and problems of various programs.

Absolutely! There are many options to include your Dad as a co-borrower. However, the real question is: Does Dad want to apply for a mortgage with you? I don't mean that to sound sarcastic...but if he does, he's obligated on the loan and it will likely limit his own purchasing power should he want to finance something of his own in the future. This mortgage payment will always be with him ...until you can refinance and remove him. I would suggest that you contact a very mortgage originator and have someone take a very close look at what you're doing and if, possibly, you have other options.
