Buying a new house INMEDIATE HELP!
Hello BP I have some questions. So my girlfriend and I are looking for a new house. She is a first time home buyer, but only prequalifies for 275K and she would like to do that with FHA. We looking to get a 350k house that is off market so we would like to save in Real state agents fees, so I probable have to be a co-signer The problem is im not a first time buyer. If I joint it is going to affect the FhA hel program? What is the best solution to this matter in your opinion?

@Rasiel Algaze 1. Realtors are free for buyers so i am not sure what you think you will save by not using one. You will only lose out on representation that could really save you thousands of dollars. 2. Get a good lender to educate you on your options for financing.
