If you're gearing up to buy a home, there's more to it than just saving for a down payment. Understanding your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) is the key to a smoother approval process.
💡 What's DTI?
DTI is the percentage of your income allocated to monthly debt. Aim for a lower percentage to enhance your chances of approval.
📉 The Sweet Spot
A healthy DTI is typically 36% or less. For example, if your income is $6,000 and $2,700 goes to debt, your DTI is 45%—considered high for a home loan approval.
✅ Boost Your Approval Odds
To increase your chances of approval, work on reducing your debt to lower your monthly payments. Need guidance on how to optimize your DTI? Drop me a DM!
