USDA Home Loan: Your Spouse’s Credit

December 14, 2010

Non-Purchasing Spouse/ Disclaiming Spouse in Community Property States:

All of the debt, except for debt obligations that are excluded by state law, the debt obligations of a Non-Purchasing Spouse also known (according to USDA) as a “ Disclaiming Spouse” (Spouse’s that is not applying for the loan) must be included in the primary borrower’s qualifying ratios when the home buyer resides in a community property state or the property guaranteed is located in a community property state.

The “Disclaiming Spouse’s” credit history is not considered as a reason to deny the applicant’s loan application.  However, the “Disclaiming Spouse’s” obligations will be considered in the debt-to-income ratio unless it is excluded by state law. A credit report that meets the USDA’s requirements must be pulled for the “Disclaiming spouse” in order to accurately find out whether the spouse’s debts  will be counted in the total debt ratio/ calculation. 

This could possibly adversely affect the primary borrower’s ability to qualify for a USDA Home Loan.

Community property states include:

Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
