Most conventional files target a debt-to-income ratio under 43–45%. With strong credit, reserves, and residual income, many lenders can approve closer to 50%. Here is how DTI is calculated — and how we improve yours.
Debt-to-income is your total monthly debts divided by gross monthly income. Lenders look at two versions.
Small changes before application can move you from “maybe” to approved. We prioritize the fixes that free the most monthly payment capacity.
Student loans, deferred debts, and authorized-user accounts are common surprises — we scrub your credit report so nothing inflates the ratio unexpectedly.
Other programs may allow more flexible ratios — or we restructure the file so conventional still wins.
