What’s a Co-Borrower?
If your credit history is holding you back from homeownership, it might be time to find a co-borrower. In this video, our CEO and founder, Scott Gordon, discusses what that means, who they are, and how to decide if it’s a good option for you. Some of the topics he covers:
- Improving your credit history takes time, but a co-borrower could speed up the process
- The difference between co-borrowers and non-occupant co-borrowers
- Asking a family member or close friend to co-sign your mortgage
