I Am Married, Can I Get A Loan Using Only My Credit ... - Realtor.com

questions

Q: I?m newly married and my husband has less than perfect credit but my credit is above a 660. i currently work at a credit union and we are looking to get a home within the next year and I wanted to know if you think that would be possible? If they only will let me get the home loan in my name will they consider both of our income because he makes way more than I do and he has been at his job for more than 4 years? Thanks.
?Anonymous, Appleton, WI

A: You should absolutely be able to qualify for a home based on the limited information you gave me. You should get pre-qualified by a bank or credit union where you work to find out how much you qualify for and how much of a down payment you would need. If you need a great referral for a real estate agent in your area, let me know.
Monique Higginson is Realtor? with Market Source Real Estate in Salt Lake City, UT.

A: Make an appointment with a loan officer and ask him to do a pre-qualification for the purchase of you house. I am sure you will get a realistic answer.
Mercedes Solano is a Realtor? with Amer Ex Realty Inc. in Bellflower, CA.

A: Hi, Although you work for a credit union, there may be a bank or lending company that has the ability to help you. The only people that can tell you if it is possible is a loan officer. I wouldn?t give up on the first one. I know many people who get turned down but didn?t talk to a really good loan officer and could have closed on a home. The alternative is to seek out a way to increase your husband?s credit. Depending on what is on his credit and what type of loans he will qualify for will differentiate between banks.
Suzanne White is a Realtor? with McBride Kelly & Associates in Tampa, FL.

A: You need to speak with a lender not a Realtor?. You say you work at a credit union and that would be the place to start since they know you.
Kathryn Copeland is a Realtor? with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Winter Park, FL.

A: I suggest speaking with a local agent in your market, and getting a referral to a good lender. Of course, since you work for the credit union, you may want to speak with one of your loan officers there. The only real problem with credit unions typically is their lack of flexibility with loan programs.
David Welch is a Realtor? with RE/MAX 200 Realty in Winter Park, FL.

Secrets of the first practical artificial leaf

ScienceDaily (May 9, 2012) ? A detailed description of development of the first practical artificial leaf -- a milestone in the drive for sustainable energy that mimics the process, photosynthesis, that green plants use to convert water and sunlight into energy -- appears in the ACS journal Accounts of Chemical Research. The article notes that unlike earlier devices, which used costly ingredients, the new device is made from inexpensive materials and employs low-cost engineering and manufacturing processes.

Daniel G. Nocera points out that the artificial leaf responds to the vision of a famous Italian chemist who, in 1912, predicted that scientists one day would uncover the "guarded secret of plants." The most important of those, Nocera says, is the process that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The artificial leaf has a sunlight collector sandwiched between two films that generate oxygen and hydrogen gas. When dropped into a jar of water in the sunlight, it bubbles away, releasing hydrogen that can be used in fuel cells to make electricity. These self-contained units are attractive for making fuel for electricity in remote places and the developing world, but designs demonstrated thus far rely on metals like platinum and manufacturing processes that make them cost-prohibitive.

To make these devices more widely available, Nocera replaced the platinum catalyst that produces hydrogen gas with a less-expensive nickel-molybdenum-zinc compound. On the other side of the leaf, a cobalt film generates oxygen gas. Nocera notes that all of these materials are abundant on Earth, unlike the rare and expensive platinum, noble metal oxides and semiconducting materials others have used. "Considering that it is the 6 billion nonlegacy users that are driving the enormous increase in energy demand by midcentury, a research target of delivering solar energy to the poor with discoveries such as the artificial leaf provides global society its most direct path to a sustainable energy future," he says.

(AP) ? Rafael Nadal won his first match on the blue-clay court at Madrid Open, dispatching Nikolay Davydenko 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday.

Nadal had little trouble on the surface that he criticized this week as soft and slippery. The Spanish champion had six aces and 19 winners. He broke his Russian opponent four times to advance to the third round.

American John Isner lost to Marin Cilic 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3). Fifth-seeded David Ferrer advanced after a 7-6 (4), 6-2 win over Radek Stepanek.

In women's competition, defending champion Petra Kvitova exited the tournament after losing to Lucie Hradecka 6-4, 6-3 in the second round.

Li Na defeated Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-4. Agnieszka Radwanska routed Sara Errani 6-0, 6-1, ending the Italian's 16-match winning streak.
