I’ve learned some important things as a result of your post. I would also like to say that there is a situation that you will obtain a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a Fed Student Support Loan. But if you are getting that loan through a regular bank or investment company then you need to be ready to have a co-signer ready to help you. The lenders will certainly base their own decision on a few components but the main one will be your credit rating. There are some loan merchants that will furthermore look at your work history and determine based on this but in almost all cases it will depend on your credit score.
I like what you guys are up too. Such clever work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it’ll improve the value of my web site 🙂
