My application is currently in underwriting. I am concerned that because my student loans are so high that my DTI may not pass. I have found a home that is scheduled to close on 12/2. Honestly I did not see you site until after applying thru my current lender. Would you be able to take over the case and will I still be able to close on 12/2 or earlier? I am in Illinois and also seeking downpayment assistance from IDHA. The Home Inspection and Appraisal have all been completed. My student loans total 186k and I am currently in deferment, but the lender is saying that the payments are coming up to 1300 per month…but I am paying $0.00. My credit score middle is 643. Also I am currently employed but will start a new job in a week making more money. Can you help? What steps will I need to take.
