Do you know what percentage of your gross monthly income goes toward debt? That’s your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. Mortgage lenders look at that number to determine whether you can make mortgage payments and still cover your debt and living expenses. A higher ratio could mean a higher interest rate or loan denial – even for FHA and VA loans. If you’re planning to apply for a mortgage, start reducing your debt load now.
