How do I increase my loan amount?

[Tiffany Onwudinanti]

Hello BP family! Does anyone have any insights on how one can increase how much of a loan they can qualify without putting a co-borrow's name on the loan? I'm wanting to get into house hacking and make under 50k a year. Besides living frugally and saving, I want to know if there are any other creative ideas that can let a bank/lender loan more to me. Thanks!
