Can I qualify on one income?

Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

Yes. Plenty of buyers qualify on a single income — the loan simply uses that income against your debts and the payment. Lower debt stretches a single income further.

If you're married but only one spouse is on the loan, only that spouse's income and credit are used, but their debts count too in community-property states. We'll structure the file to maximize a one-income approval.
