I read somewhere that if you're married and 1 person has excellent credit while the other is so-so, you can
take the mortgage out under the person with the excellent credit score and add the spouse's income as additional income in order to qualify for a larger loan. Does the same rule apply if you're unmarried and buying a home?

Hi Kristina,
In my experience I have found that the lender will take the middle score of the person with the best credit scores. It's the same if married or not.
