You can have a co-signer, but typically this is only used for income purposes and not for the purpose of getting better terms being they will be based off the lower of the middle FICO score.

Has something changed since you last got the loan that makes you think you need a co-borrower on the loan? If you go to the mortgage company that currently services your loan will not even need to document income to qualify for HARP. No appraisal and no income or asset documentation.

You can, the question is why do you think you need to be added.
