Debt-to-income ratios is one of the biggest hurdles in getting approved for a mortgage loan. Not all income counts when it comes to mortgage qualification. Verified and qualified income is the only income that can be used for debt-to-income ratio qualificatin. The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a key financial metric used by lenders to assess a borrower’s ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts. It is particularly important in the context of mortgage loans. The debt-to-income ratio is calculated by dividing the borrower’s total monthly debt payments by their gross monthly income and expressing the result as a percentage.
The formula for calculating the debt-to-income ratio is as follows:
Debt-to-Income Ratio=(Gross Monthly IncomeTotal Monthly Debt Payments)×100
The total monthly debt payments typically include housing-related expenses (such as mortgage payments, property taxes, and homeowners insurance) as well as other debts like car loans, student loans, and credit card payments.
For mortgage loans, lenders often look at two types of debt-to-income ratios:
Front-end ratio (or housing ratio): This ratio includes only housing-related expenses (mortgage, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and sometimes homeowners association fees). Lenders usually prefer this ratio to be below a certain threshold, often around 28% to 31%.
Back-end ratio (or total debt ratio): This ratio includes all monthly debt obligations, not just housing-related expenses. This includes housing expenses along with other debts. Lenders typically have a maximum allowable back-end ratio, often around 36% to 43%, although this can vary.
Different lenders may have slightly different criteria for acceptable debt-to-income ratios, and these ratios can also depend on the type of mortgage and the borrower’s overall financial profile. It’s essential for borrowers to be aware of their debt-to-income ratio and work to keep it within the acceptable range to improve their chances of qualifying for a mortgage loan at favorable terms.

Many borrowers think that your are set home free after a conditional mortgage loan approval. This is normally the case but not always so. I have seen many mortgage loan denials after a conditional loan approval. What a conditional loan approval means is when the mortgage underwriter feels the borrower qualifies for a mortgage loan but need to comply with the list of conditions the mortgage underwriter states. Once a mortgage processor submits all conditions, the underwriter can come back with additional conditions on the of the conditions of the first conditional loan approval. This is the stage of the mortgage process where a mortgage underwriter can drive everyone crazy including the loan officer. I have seen mortgage underwriters condition the dumbest things over and over again. It may be that the underwriter had a bad day. Here is a blog that was updated about the mortgage process after the conditional loan approval:

Mortgage Process After The Conditional Approval
The mortgage process after the conditional approval is clearing conditions for the CTC, which means the lender is ready to fund the loan.
