Welcome to the ZipRealty community and thank you for posting in the forum!

So that I can forward your question to one of our local experts, what city/state are you writing from?

Since students loan are in deferent  and do not show on your credit report , I have been told no. Please check with your mortgage company

Hello,

 

No they won't affect your credit scores but they will still show a balance for overall credit owed. I'm looking to purchase also but in north chicago/gurnee area.
