Student Loans & Mortgage DTI (How to Calculate ALL PROGRAMS)

If you have student loans, you might think this is a barrier to getting approved for a mortgage. In reality, even folks with high student loan balances may qualify as long as the debt-to-income ratio overall is within acceptable limits. The various mortgage agencies have calculation methods to determine how much we need to count against you in the DTI math. These calculation methods have become more favorable for the consumer over the past few years.

In this video, I cover the DTI calculation methods used by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac (under conventional loan guidelines), FHA, VA and USDA. I also explain strategies to optimize your chances for mortgage approval with regard to your student loan obligations.

The lowest rate for your mortgage varies based on a lot of factors: credit score, loan amount, appraised value, down payment, property type (single family residence, condo, multi-family), income, etc. In addition to offering rates I believe you will find to be very competitive, I also help folks to optimize the various factors involved to obtain the best rate possible.
