New car, hard to get conventional loan for first time home?
Hi all,
My girlfriend and I just got a new car- she makes the payments and we put it in my name due to my pretty good credit (hers is currently pretty bad). My question is: My dad freaked out when we bought it because he doesn't think now I'll be able to buy a home the conventional way until this car loan is paid off. What do you all think? We're currently renting but do want our own house eventually, maybe a house hack or BRRRR I've been reading about? I've never bought a new car (and obviously home) and right now my dad is causing me a great deal of anxiety, love your opinions.
