qualify for loan, too young

Discrimination of any sort is strictly illegal. As long as you are of legal age to enter into a contract and have the other necessary requirements you will be fine.

Age really is not a factor and can't be when being considered for a loan. A young person however, may face real challenges getting a mortgage loan because of either no credit history or new credit history (less than one year of reporting trade lines).

Most states recognize an individual as being an adult at the age of 18. Since you need to enter into a contract to qualify for a mortgage, you must be old enough to sign the contract... even if your just 18, and you apply for a mortgage.. you would still have to have the necessary income and job requirements that are imposed on all borrowers, young or old..

Conventional and all forward mortgages - As others have said below, as long as you are of legal age to enter into a contract you are fine and your age is not a factor.Reverse mortgages your age is a factor. First, you must be 62 years of age at a minimum to qualify. The older you are above the age of 62 the greater the amount of your homes equity you can borrow.

As long as you are old enough to enter a contract in your state AGE can not be used as a qualifying standard unless you are applying for a home equity conversion mortgage.

Seriously ronmzach?? Was this question so difficult that you had no idea how to answer so you copied and pasted my answer and posted it as your own? Not exactly building confidence in you business acumen or ability there buddy.

There are only two age requirements that I am aware of. At least legal age (18) to sign a contract, and at least 62 to qualify for a reverse mortgage. Other than that, age is not a consideration at all.
