Congratulations, you will likely qualify for this payment!

Under this loan program, the maximum DTI is 50% and this scenario falls within those parameters.

Check the maximum monthly payment information to the right to see how much room you have between this scenario’s payment and the maximum.

Congratulations, you may qualify for this payment!

Under this loan program, the maximum DTI is 50% but in this FICO score range of 660-679, the approval will depend on a wider range of factors, such as your down payment, employment stability, and post closing assets.

You have a much better chance of approval with a DTI under 43-45% especially if your down payment is less than 10% of the purchase price.

Check the approx. maximum monthly payment information to the right at 45% DTI to see how much room you have between this scenario’s payment and the recommended 45% DTI.

Any monthly payment higher than this amount and up to 50% DTI should be verified as approvable by your lender prior to submitting any offers just to be sure you will qualify.

You have a much better chance of approval with a DTI under 38% especially if the down payment is under 10% of the purchase price.

Check the approx. maximum monthly payment information to the right at 38% DTI to see how much room you have between this scenario’s payment and the recommended 38% DTI.

Any monthly payment higher than this amount and up to 50% DTI should be verified as approvable by your lender prior to submitting any offers just to be sure you will qualify.

The Total Monthly Payment is too High in this Scenario.

Under this loan program, the maximum DTI is 50% and this monthly payment exceeds that threshold.

You will need to reduce monthly debt and/or reduce the monthly housing payment by shopping for lower priced homes or by increasing the down payment.

You can seek to increase income by adding a co-signer or obtain gift funds from family to help with a larger down payment to reduce the monthly payment.

Congratulations, you will likely qualify for this VA loan payment!

Under this loan program, there is no maximum DTI as VA loans are approved based on a residual income analysis completed by a VA underwriter.

This analysis will account for all of your income and expenses, to include any monthly debts, child care expenses, living expenses for the area, and adjustments for non-taxed income (such as BAH and COLA).

Based on the above scenario, you will most likely be approved for VA financing with an approximate maximum total housing payment on the right based solely on your excellent FICO score as VA does not require assets in reserve.

This analysis will account for all of your income and expenses, to include any monthly debts, child care expenses, living expenses for the area, and adjustments for non-taxed income (like BAH and COLA).

However, based on your acceptable but lower range credit score, you may or may not be approved for VA financing, depending on several other factors, such as employment stability, post closing assets, and overall credit profile.

An approx maximum monthly payment in this scenario is listed to the right but I recommend having a VA underwriter review and pre-approve your loan prior to writing an offer to purchase a home just to be sure you will qualify.
