Teresa D asked:


We have 2 medical-related judgements and one from a credit card on our credit report. We spoke to a lender about buying a home and he said every mortgage companay would deny us because the people who have the judgements against us would put a lein on the property until they were paid. Is that true?

Me and my wife’s name are on the mortgage, when a lender checks my dept to income percent, after they run my credit and see the house payment and credit cards etc; do they allocate the full house payment in to my dept or half of it since my wife is part owner as well?

I only have a $920 a month house payment and 2 credit cards with no balance, after doing the math of 16-20% DTI it doesnt leave me a whole lot to bargain with a monthly payment for a car, I make $3200 a month. But I have also read that lenders dont want your dept to exceed 40-50% gross pay which sounds alot better to me, Im aiming for a $400-450 car monthly note.

looking at $22,000-$25,000 total loan amount for auto, 750ish credit score with 11 months for home mortgage… 2 years of one credit card and 7 months of another around $500. limits, thats my credit history .

Myra asked:


will that look bad to the mortgage lender? I think it will, but my friend said I shouldn’t worry about it. What do you think? Don’t use the credit card or use the credit card?
