I have to disagree. First, I was told by a title company when the new 1003 came out that if there was not a co-borrower, then the borrower should not sign the top line as it was only for borrowers applying for joint credit. I have never ever had a sole borrower sign at the top.
Second, if you go to https://www.efanniemae.com/sf/formsdocs/forms/pdf/sellingtrans/1003.pdf
The 1003 states above the place for signatures in the top portion: "if this is an application for joint credit, Borrower and Co-borrwer each agree that we intend to apply for joint credit" Why would a borrower who is obviously not applying for joint credit sign that he/she is intending to apply for joint credit? |
