Would Leasing a vehicle effect me from being approved for a home?

[Heather Chavez]

Hello, For a few years now i was not able to be approved for a Loan to purchase my first home because of a high car loan. I no longer have this vehicle in my possesion and am not held responsible for the car loan anymore. However, i was curious to find out if i decide to lease a vehicle for a few years if this has the same effect of having the prior car loan? Would i be in the same situation as before.  Any info would help.
