Best Answer

The other person would have to qualify for the home loan. You could be on the loan as well and you both would share responsibility. Both of you would be on the deed until the house is paid for or refinanced under your own credit. It would be best for you to establish your own credit over the next couple of years and to buy the house in your own right. That is because, inevitably, co-signing with someone who has bad credit is unwise since they are irresponsible and it can create personal conflicts. You can buy a subscription for a credit report with the score for very little, which will enable you to keep track of your trades and score. Pay down your accounts to zero, don't close the oldest accounts that show as paid. You will need four paid, current accounts. Make sure your car payments are on time and that you do not owe more than it is worth. Your rent, any judgments, liens and so on need to be paid and on time. Plan to have 10 to 20% down payment saved for the home.

Can a person with bad credit cosign for a car loan?

I don't think so. The reason for a cosign is because the person buying the car has bad credit and the cosigner is a guarantee to the bank the loan will be paid. Two bad credit reports doesn't equal one good one. Since you have credit problems I wouldn't sign because that will add to your debt ratio to income and actually harm your credit.
