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.

Yes, a cosigner can help if you have bad credit, as they provide a guarantee to the lender that the loan will be repaid. This can improve your chances of getting approved for a loan or lease, and may also result in better interest rates. However, the cosigner's credit and financial stability will also be evaluated, and they assume responsibility if you default on the loan. It's important to maintain good communication and make timely payments to protect both your and your cosigner's credit.
