Getting a Loan for a beginner

[Rob Bianco]

My wife and I are both doing pretty well financially and with our careers, but my credit is a bit shaky while her's is in the 700's. I'm trying to get involved in buying rental homes for cashflow, but I'm pretty confident I would be denied, but I'm assuming she might not be.

Would we be able to co-sign on a loan? I'm not really sure how this process would work. We also don't own a home (we rent an apartment) so we can't use that as collateral.
