Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good DTI ratio?

Conventional loans generally want a back-end DTI under 43%; FHA loans allow up to 50% in some cases. Lower DTI also means better interest rates.

How can I lower my DTI?

Pay down credit card balances, extend loan terms to lower monthly payments, or increase income. Even a small balance payoff can push you under the threshold.
