Do I Qualify?

 

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Do I qualify?”

Lenders evaluate several factors, but one key number is your debt-to-income ratio (DTI).

Your DTI compares your monthly debt payments to your gross (before-tax) monthly income.

There are typically two measurements:

Front-End Ratio (Housing Ratio)
The percentage of your income that goes toward your proposed mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA if applicable).

Back-End Ratio (Total Debt Ratio)
The percentage of your income that goes toward all monthly debts combined — including your mortgage, car loans, credit cards, student loans, and other obligations.

What Are Typical Limits?

 

For many conventional loans:

  • Housing ratio is often around 36–45%
     
  • Total debt ratio is often capped near 43–50%
     

However, guidelines vary.

  • VA and FHA loans may allow higher debt-to-income ratios depending on credit profile, residual income, and overall strength of the file.
     
  • Strong credit, stable income, cash reserves, and compensating factors can improve flexibility.
     

Mortgage qualification is not one-size-fits-all.
