I am getting married in August and my fiance and I both have mottled credit. His credit is better than mine, but unfortunately, he owes back child support and cannot get a mortgage as long as that is in place. Our mortgage broker suggested we get a personal loan to pay off the child support (even if it is high interest)and then spend about a year getting ourselves on our feet. Then he can roll the remainder of THAT loan into a mortgage using my husband's credit. The problem is, this would be a personal loan and we have no assets to secure it. Do you think it is possible to go through conventional means with this loan or will we be better off trying to find a private investor looking to make a high rate of return in a couple of years.... The amount would be around $16,500. Any ideas?
Thanks!
