Debt-to-Income Ratio (Overall Debt Ratios)<\/strong><\/p>\n Just as important as the Housing or front-end ratio is the debt-to-income ratio or DTI. This is the amount of your gross monthly income that goes toward paying all debts considered in a loan.\u00a0Lenders consider 42-48% the golden range for DTI. Lenders will want to see lower DTI’s, but by using disposable income we can sometimes stretch these ratios over the 48%.<\/p>\n DTI can be calculated using the three factors from above and the addition of a fourth:<\/p>\n Your monthly debt payments are all added into one number and used in a similar equation. Let’s use the same numbers as before\u00a0and make your monthly debt payment $350.\u00a0\u00a0Again, all you need to do is add, then divide to\u00a0get your DTI. The equation looks like this:<\/p>\n DTI (43%)\u00a0= ($720 + $800 + $350) \u00f7 $4,350<\/p>\n Again, you can use the same equation in the diagram above to see how much income or debt\u00a0you would need qualify for the range of DTI ratios.<\/p>\n Why are debt &\u00a0housing ratios considered?<\/strong><\/p>\n As previously mentioned, housing and debt ratios are considered important to lenders because it shows how\u00a0likely the borrower can\u00a0make a loan payment. Borrowers with high DTI and housing ratios are more likely to be denied by lenders because of the possibility of the borrower defaulting on payments.<\/p>\n Calculating the ratios\u00a0\u00a0using the equations above can give you a good idea in advance if you qualify.\u00a0\u00a0We do have our disposable income program which may allow for higher overall debt and housing ratios<\/p>\n To find out more about our loan\u00a0programs and to see if you qualify for a manufactured home loan, contact our office at 714-731-8080.
