Hi Annette,

If the mortgage is in both of you and your husband's name, the lender will review the case based on the LOWER score. That means your mortgage interest rate will be determined by the 595 FICO. If you don't have perfect credit, there're lenders on the market right now that will qualify you based on alternative credit such as cell phone payment, utilities bills like Adam described. However, if you put down less than 20% down payment, you'll be required to pay mortgage insurance, and this payment will only be determined by your FICO score. Of course, the higher your credit score, the lower the mortgage insurance. My advice is to seek professional advice from lenders or mortgage brokers. They may give you a few good hints on how to boost your score in a short time! Good Luck House Hunting!
