FHA DEBT TO INCOME RATIOS

According to FHA guidelines, borrowers and / or their spouse must qualify according to set debt ratios which are used to determine whether the borrower can reasonable be expected to meet the expenses involved with home ownership. There are two ratios.


Add up the total mortgage payment (principal and interest, escrow deposits for taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance premium, homeowners' dues, etc.). Then, take that amount and divide it by the gross monthly income. The maximum ratio to qualify is 29%.


  Total amount of new house payment: $650.00  
  Borrower's gross monthly income (including spouse, if married): $2,400.00  
  Divide total house payment by gross monthly income: $650/$2,400  
  Debt to income ratio: 27.08%  


Add up the total mortgage payment (principal and interest, escrow deposits for taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage insurance premium, homeowners' dues, etc.) and all recurring monthly revolving and installment debt (car loans, personal loans, student loans, credit cards, etc.). Then, take that amount and divide it by the gross monthly income. The maximum ratio to qualify is 41%.


  Total amount of new house payment: $650.00  
  Total amount of monthly recurring debt: $300.00  
  Total amount of monthly debt: $950.00  
  Borrower's gross monthly income (including spouse, if married): $2,400.00  
  Divide total monthly debt by gross monthly income: $950/$2,400  
  Debt to income ratio: 39.58%  

Please note that the above indicators do not exclusively determine whether or not a candidate will qualify for an FHA loan. Other factors will be considered, including credit history and job stability.

FREQUENT FHA HUD QUESTION # 13   [ -more questions- ]
- - - - - -

Q: What types of closing costs are associated with FHA-insured loans?
A: Except for the addition of an FHA mortgage insurance premium, FHA closing costs are similar to those of a conventional loan. The FHA requires a single, up-front mortgage insurance premium equal to 2.25% of the mortgage to be paid at closing (or 1.75% if you complete the HELP program). This initial premium may be partially refunded if the loan is paid in full during the first seven years of the loan term. After closing, you will then be responsible for an annual premium - paid monthly - if your mortgage is over 15 years or if you have a 15-year loan with an LTV greater than 90%.
