Parter and I are about to put an offer down on a a house, for credit reasons I’m the only one on the loan (until we can build their credit and refinance in a few years). Has anyone run into issues because both names aren’t on the deed?

Even though you are the only one on the loan, most loan companies will allow you put both your name and your partner’s on the deed. Of course the risk with it is your partner not being liable for the mortgage, even though their name’s on the title. However, if you are in a community property state; it may not matter much as they’d still be liable for the loan obtained during the course of the marriage, subject to any documents like a prenup or post up saying something contrary.

P.S This is me assuming your partner is your spouse.

That's exactly what I did with my house and we weren't married. His name was on the mortgage but mine was on the deed. I insisted since I was making half the payments,

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
