Car Loan Calc
DTI 35% calc before or after mortgage?
Ok, so my hubby’s DTI ratio is 35%. This is without a mortgage payment (darn car payment and student loans) (we are trying to get a house). Does our new mortgage payment need to be calculated with this number? Will a lender look at that and say the ratio is too high to qualify for a mortgage?
can you please explain to me how they look at this? We’re trying to get FHA in Pennsylvania.
Up until about 8 years ago, lenders required that your total debt to income could not exceed 36% of your gross monthly income and that includes your mortgage. Sub prime lending came along and increased the dti to 50%. FhA is making alot of drastic changes at this point in order to give people a chance to refinance or purchase new homes. Your best bet is to arrange a meeting with an FHA approved lender to get the latest news of the changes. You can find these lenders in your yellow pages. Words of wisdom: Do not go more than 40% of your gross income into debt.
