Qualifying for a joint loan has never been so easier. However, joint loans are not made for ant\y type of relationships; they are limited to certain partnerships. Mostly married couples are the most common applicants for joint loans, though unmarried couples never get eligible for a loan unless they have a strong reason to show they will be together soon. In that case, some companies will allows applicants to qualify for a loan after their engagement itself, but the loan will not be given to them until they are married. Other than this, applications from a parent and a child, two brothers, two sisters may be accepted, but all other sibling and family ties will not be taken into account.

The main reason as you knows to jointly apply for a loan is to get you a larger sum of loan than you alone might be trying to come up with. It usually happens as both the applying partners get their incomes calculated as one unit and thus they are allowed to have a larger loan.

Even if one of the  partner does not have a good salary, say a part time job at home, and the other one has a excellent income, it will be taken as o single unit ad combined to qualify for the loan. The main fact to consider is that as long as they are earning and make contributions in the repayment, then it is to the lenders very interest to qualify them for the joint loan.
