Yes – so long as you and the cosigner meet certain qualifications. You still need to have a minimum credit score (usually 620 for a conventional loan or 580 for an FHA loan), enough cash for a minimum down payment, and a debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of 43 percent or less (DTI = your total debt divided by your annual income).
Cosigners allow many young adults to buy property while they build their credit. Your cosigner must be a legal relative or have a documented long-standing relationship with you and their credit score would ideally be better enough than yours to set a lender’s mind at ease.
