We now need a 4 bedroom house & would like to move to a new house if possible.. . I was dealing with a loan officer in Aug who in the end said could not approve us due to score and collections.. More due to high util., but she told me to pay down money. To raise score. At that time I was in the 635-680 score range. I know I won't be using that person when it's time, because I called her back to tell her our status and was adamnant to repull score.. I said no but wanted a rough estimate of what we would be approved for based on income.. Needless to say, been about 6 weeks no email or call. 😡 I don't want to have any more inquiries than I need.

Other info: This is all my info. Hubby scores are lower and has 5 collections left all less than $2000. We have same debts.. He has $15000 401k
Should I apply alone? If i do with him we hit about $110,000. Also our tax returns hindered us due to employment expense deductible
Really want to go conventional
Any advice is sincerely appreciated!
Not sure if I missed it or not,
Keeping the old house?
Other than that it looks real good.
We are planning to sell current home.
Do no want to carry 2 mortgages.
I am wondering to apply by myself for better interfest rate, but not sure If I can get approved for 220,000 without hubby income. His scores are in the mid 600's but have few collections in the dreaded "disputed by consumer" so I am sure not actual fico's!!

Ha! I am unqualified to answer your question, but I find our similarities interesting! Good luck whichever way!
I did receive some recommendations for brokers (I believe) that I'd be happy to share. I haven't reached out to them yet as I am waiting for my downpayment/closing/reserves picture to improve first, but one of them is a TX guy, too!
apply joint.
the loan officer can remove a spouse if they hurt the file.
also. even if scores are low, there is no reason for the LO not to be able to give you a good consultation on what it would take to get approved.
