Your debt-to-income ratio is an important factor in getting approved for a mortgage.
Today J.C. Diaz from Movement Mortgage joined us to discuss debt-to-income ratios—one of the most important factors in getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This ratio is simply a calculation that determines how much people can afford by examining how much debt a person has compared to their total income. Your ratio is calculated on a gross basis, meaning that everything that would show up on your credit report is factored into it. Using this information, your lender can estimate how much of a monthly payment you could afford given how much you qualify for. To learn more about how debt-to-income ratios are used in mortgage approval, watch the short video above.
