The main affect is, it will show on your debt to income ratio as a current debt, because if you are co-signing, you are saying that if she doesn't pay, then I will. So with the possibility of owing two mortgages, if you want to get your own home, you better make a lot of money. If you can only afford one mortgage, then if you sign on hers, then that will probably be the only mortgage you will be able to be on, until you get off the loan.

Can cosigning a student loan for your daughter affect the result in you getting a mortgage loan?

It sure can. If your daughter had any late payments on the account itwould reflect negatively on your credit report. Also, even if the loan is in a deferred status the minimum monthly payment would most likely have to be counted in your total debt to income ratio.(depending on the lender) If your ratio is to high, than you won't qualify for the best rate available. The only absolute way not to have this affect your chances of qualifying for a mortgage is:make sure your daughter pays with a check.make sure you have twelve months of the cancelled checks evidencing no late payments.

Co-signing a mortgage will put the debt on your credit report as well as hers. If your credit is bad, it will help improve your credit, however the loan may affect your chance depending on your income and whether the mortgage is still being paid when you apply for a mortgage. Before co-signing make sure you talk to a mortgage consultant who would be able to answer the question to your specific situation.
