Mortgage Qualification Guidlines
1. If the government has established your student loan to be in default, it is possible that you are not found to be a qualified applicant for a mortgage loan. However, there are cases the disqualification may be waived provided that you have entered into your repayment negotiations to schedule for the student loan and you have made punctual payments again for the previous year.
2. You should pay any outstanding collection payments prior to filing you application for the mortgage loan.
3. If you are subject to cases that involve child support payments, your payments should be current and caught up. All court ordered judgments should have been paid up to date.
