Why Is DTI Important?

Podcast: "Nobody Wants a Mortage"

Coming Soon

Follow us on YouTube to watch live!

Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is something you hear often when planning to buy a home, but what exactly does it mean and why is it so important? Your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio compares how much you owe each month to how much you earn. It’s the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes toward payments for rent, mortgage, credit cards, or other debts. Knowing your monthly income and understanding your DTI will help determine what loan amount you can qualify for. Bill & Garrett are here to break down monthly income & DTI to easily help you calculate your journey to homeownership.
