Hi George, Generally no. Only income from borrowers obligated on the note is considered. Ironically, in your state, the debts of your spouse will be considered in calculating your ability to pay even if she is not a borrower on the mortgage. I'm happy to help with the financing or just give you advice. If you need more information, or a competing rate quote call, email or use my live support button to discuss or get in touch with me.

Hi George,The short answer is unfortunately no.I can imagine a couple scenarios where you might want to refinance property without your spouse on the loan. 1. If you owned the property from before you were married (separate property), or if your spouse had poor credit. In the first instance, the lender would require the spouse to be on title with you, before their income was considered. In the second instance, the lender wouldn't consider the spouses income without also considering the spouse's credit. If you have any other information to add, please contact me here or through my profile.Regards, Dan Marchiando, mortgage broker.

I'd have to agree, but would note one thing, the non-borrowing spouse can contribute towards the down payment if they hold the funds in their sole account. This is done via a gift letter and proper paper trail of the source of the funds from the spouses account to the closing table.

No, you cannot use income from a non-borrowing spouse to qualify. However, a non-borrowing spouse can gift you money for a down payment or closing costs. You can also have a non-occupant co-signer, but again they would have to qualify with all of their debts and income, same as you would. Best wishes, Sean

No... Only those on the actual loan will be considered.
