How to secure financing for a newbie couple

Account Closed

Posted

Hi! My boyfriend and I are both 22 years old and want to buy our first property, hopefully a four-plex, this year (Milwaukee, WI). We are going to try for an FHA loan so we can house hack

The issue I'm worried about is that we are not married, he makes all the money, and I'm the only one with good credit (because he didn't know about a past debt). What kind of issues might we run in to? Is there any way to solve this? How can we go about securing financing within the year?

Since I'm new to REI, I appreciate any advice! I will gladly try to learn from others' mistakes! Thank you so much!
