…the Lender will
determine if you can
afford monthly
payments to buy a
home by…
LOOKING AT YOUR NUMBERS TO
SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR A
MORTGAGE.
THEY WILL LOOK AT YOUR GROSS
DEBT SERVICE (GDS) RATIO.
AND YOUR TOTAL DEBT SERVICE
(TDS) RATIO.
GDS = PAYMENT
INCOME
TDS = ALL PAYMENTS
INCOME
9. CREDIT PLAYS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE!
Lenders often ask the following questions:
• Is the credit score of the borrower considered to be good?
• Does the borrow have bankruptcy, late payments, or collections? If so, is there an
explanation and are they now in good standing?
• Monthly debt utilization
• Are credit cards maxed out?
The answers to these questions can make a determination as far as the
eligibility of a mortgage goes.
10. But what if you
don’t income
qualify? Is there
another way?
YES!!
You can use “Stated
Income” which simply
means “stating” your
income to be
REASONABLE and to
reflect the time you
have been working
within that industry.
