Question: Would still qualify for First Time Home Buyer Credit if on title but not on the loan?

Let’s say my brother bought a house but we did not co sign because I owe too much debt and made too little last year so I am not on the loan, but I am on title. Would I still be able to qualify for the credit? He actually qualifies too but he doesn’t want to claim it because he wants to buy his own house later.

Thanks!
