Good credit, low income, can I finance?

Profile picture for embmom
I have a good credit score in 700's, around 40k to put down on 100-120k house in CNY.  My income around 15-20k (without husband's, who has poor credit).  Can I finance on my own and leave him out of it?

embmom,

Where is CNY...central New York? anyways, do yo know what property taxes run on these homes in the price range you mentioned?

I ask because your property taxes and insurance can take up a huge chunk of your debt ratios.

However, with your strengths of high credit scores and large down payment, you may be approved through what is known as automated underwriting. You will need to apply and your lender will run your application through and it will essentially say approved or not approved.

Hope this helps some.
