Wow, Tom! What great info and talk about going above and beyond! I may be too far along in this process with B of A to have you broker this particular loan but I can assure you I'll call on you next time and will refer friends to you if I hear they're needing a mortgage. I'm a marketing professor and you really provided great service here even though it was unlikely you would directly benefit. Thanks, again.
Bill
p.s. I live in Abilene but have been a marketing professor at Pepperdine University in California for 14 years. I'll even use you as an example in my executive MBA classes.

William,
- Yes, the NOCB will be on title/deed.
- You aren’t co-signing…. You will be a co-borrower(non occupying)
- He will still qualify for the tax credit. I have verified before, but suggest that you investigate yourself since I do not give tax advice.
- He will get full credit for homestead.
The only downside to this is that he will likely get credit for interest deductions, although my CPA thinks YOU can….. Since he will likely not have anything else to deduct and will take a standard exemption.
I suggest you consult with your own CPA or utilize the phone numbers at IRS.gov and get an opinion on deducting interest.
Let me know if you have anything else.

Subject: FHA non occupying co-borrower
Our son will be entering medical school in Lubbock in July and we're helping him buy a house. I have strong credit (and he does too even though he has no income as full-time student). From what I'm reading, it seems to me that FHA requires that a co-borrower actually be named on the deed. Is that your understanding? I don't understand why I would need to appear on the deed as long as I sign all of the loan documents to ensure that I'm fully responsible for the debt. I'm concerned because of two factors: (1) our 22 year old son qualifies for the $8,000 first time home buyers tax credit and I'm wondering if the fact that I appear on the deed with him will keep him from getting that, and (2) in January when he files for the homestead exemption, will be only get 50% of that tax break?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Bill

What a great testimonial! It's amazing how much misunderstanding is still out there about the tax credit, yet it's about to run out.
Way to go, Tom, a notch above the rest.
Sometimes its nice to get a pat on the back Tom. Good job!
