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 a 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 is 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.
