With this type of loan, the lender does not look at the status of the applicant but the person who is backing their application.
So it is not a problem if the applicant does not own their own home and has poor credit, these are exactly the sort of people this type of loan was designed for.
It is key for the applicant to find a loan backer, someone with a good credit history to support their application, usually a family member or friend.
The main criteria for the loan backer are to have a clean credit file and a regular income; they do not have to be a homeowner, but the best rates are available to those who are.
