Things to consider when deciding how much you can afford.
There are several factors that go into the calculation. Here are the main ones:
-
FICO Score – 740 or better is considered excellent credit. Having said that we can work with a credit score as low as 580.
-
DTI – Debt to income. Generally speaking, your mortgage should not exceed 28% of your pre-tax income.
-
For example, if you earn $5,000 per month, your max mortgage should no more than $1,400
-
Your other debts should be in the neighborhood of $400 totaling $1,800 which is 36% DTI
-
You can go higher in your DTI but you should always try to have your bills paid with enough left over to have no financial stress and be able to enjoy life.
-
-
LTV – Loan to Value. For example, a $75,000 loan against a $100,000 value is a 75 LTV which is the highest you should to get the best rates.
