Understanding Your Mortgage
A mortgage is a loan taken out to buy property or land. The loan is secured against the value of your home until it's paid off. It's crucial to understand how much you can afford to borrow before committing to a mortgage.
Factors that affect your mortgage include your down payment, interest rate, loan term, and credit score. A larger down payment typically results in better loan terms and lower monthly payments.
Types of Mortgages
There are many types of mortgages available, including fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, FHA, VA, and jumbo loans. Each has its own advantages depending on your financial situation and home buying goals.
Fixed-rate mortgages offer stability with consistent payments, while adjustable-rate mortgages might start with lower rates but can change over time. Government-backed loans like FHA and VA often have more flexible qualification requirements.

Debt-to-Income (DTI) Calculator
Your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a key factor lenders use to determine how much you can borrow. A lower DTI ratio means you have less debt compared to your income.
What is DTI?
Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio is a personal finance measure that compares your monthly debt payments to your monthly gross income. Lenders use this ratio to determine your borrowing risk and how much you can afford to borrow.
Your DTI is calculated by dividing your total monthly debt payments by your gross monthly income, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Why DTI Matters
Most lenders prefer a DTI ratio of 36% or less, with no more than 28% of that debt going toward servicing your mortgage. A lower DTI ratio demonstrates your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts responsibly.
If your DTI is too high, lenders may consider you a higher risk borrower, which could result in higher interest rates or loan denial.
Improving Your DTI
To improve your DTI ratio, focus on paying down existing debt, increasing your income, or both. Consider creating a debt repayment plan and avoid taking on new debt before applying for a mortgage.
Consolidating high-interest debt, refinancing existing loans, and following a strict budget can all help lower your DTI ratio over time.
