There are several factors to consider when opening a new line of credit prior to applying for a mortgage. The most important factor is the new account's affect on your credit score. A single inquiry on your credit can decrease your score by as much as 25 pts and that can be disastrous for mortgage qualification purposes. It is best that you know your qualifying score prior to attempting to open a new account and then be able to determine if there is a cushion for a new account's impact. There is also the issue of a new payment and how it would impact your debt to income ratio. If you need any further assitance with this feel free to contact me. Eloy D.

If you join into a mortgage as a spouse but are not liable for the underlying indebtedness will this affect your credit rating?

You need to discuss this issue with an unbiased professional. If you "join into" a mortgage you are indeed liable for the underlying indebtedness. Otherwise the lender wouldn't ask you to sign the mortgage. If the mortgage goes into default it will not only affect your credit rating but the lender can go after you for payment.
