A debt to income ratio (DTI) is the percentage of your qualifying income  that is allocated to debt.

What is included in the DTI?

  • All debts reflected on the credit report
  • Estimated payments for any deferred student loans with zero payment on the credit report
  • Alimony and child support
  • Payments on State and Federal income tax  payment agreements
  • Any other debts that you are obligated to pay
  • In community property states, the debts of the non-purchasing spouse will be included in the DTI calculation.

 

Installment debt with less than 10 months remaining could be excluded from the DTI calculation.

 

Paying off installment and revolving debt to qualify IS allowed.

What is the max  DTI?

The maximum debt to income ratio on an FHA loan is determined by the Automated Underwriting System (AUS).  The system takes into account the overall picture of your application including  income stability, income source, amount down payment, cash reserves, credit scores, etc.

 

If you have credit scores above 640, the general rule of thumb is that your monthly obligations should not exceed 50% of your total qualifying budget.

 

Loans with lower credit scores will require lower DTI.

This overview is not all inclusive and does not include all guidelines or potential qualifying situations. Contact us or your lender for additional information that applies to your situation.
