OT Yes. On top of that, mortgage company's do not like high risk investments. Stocks are considered high risk. I don't quite understand that. I do understand the debt counting against me, but if I can qualify with very little money in investments why would having risky investments hurt? They might count as little better then nothing but they should not be a negative. If I could qualify with x income $3k in savings and $3k in stock investments (+$19k in my 401K), would it be so much harder to qualify with $500 in savings, x+$2k income from my job, $27k invested (+20K in my 401K), and $10k margin debt? Maybe I'll just have to make a bigger downpayment. Tim
