home loan?
 

I am American, married to a Swiss for 15 years (I am also Swiss now) and have not lived in the USA since marriage. My husband and I are now separating and I am taking the kids to the States for the first time.
There are so few rentals available in the community I want to live in, so we are considering buying a house.
We have never paid taxes in the States - I have been a stay-at-home mom or worked part-time. My husband is the breadwinner.
So can anyone give me advice of where to go to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan in the States? It would have to be based on my husband's credit rating.
We can totally afford this, it's just our foreign-ness...
Thanks for any advice or direction!
