Based on what you have stated, I don't see why it would be a problem purchasing a home here in Texas. One thing that does stand out though is that the primary borrower has no outstanding credit-ie no balances on credit cards, car payments etc. One thing that lenders will look for is your payment history. I would suggest using one of your credit cards on a monthly basis. Buy your gas or something small once a month, and allow the balance to carry over to the next month. As long as those payments are on time, this will strengthen your credit history.
