Re: marriage and properties

Yes, you can put the mortgage and deed in his name only. However, this means that the bank will not consider your income at all when calculating the interest rate. Also, you will have no ownership interest in the home. I recommend first hiring a credit repair company and trying to improve your credit scores. It takes some time, but it is probably easier than you think.
