Debt To Income Ratio Calculation Investment Property
Hi, I understand how Debt to Income ratios are calculated normally, but what is factored in when considering an investment property that you own? I've read that you take 75% of the gross rent (as stated on the tax return and have owned for 2+ years) minus the PITI. What if the mortgage is an ARM, what PITI does the bank use in that case? The original rate was about 7% while the current rate is just 3%, so it makes a big difference in this case. by danns_943_307 from Great Falls, Minnesota. Aug 9th 2011

The PITI is based on the "qualifying rate" which depends upon the type of ARM you have. Your mortgage lender can tell you what that is. For a 5 year or greater ARM it's typically the note rate.

Debt-to-income on an investment home? Under the OLD RULES, we simply gave you credit for 75% of the rent received. Under the CURRENT RULES, AND the home is on your tax returns, it is gross rent minus write-offs, then minus YOUR payment on the property. So here is an example: Say the rent is $1000 a month, and you have $3000 worth or write offs on the home for the year (repairs, etc). $3000 divided by 12 is $250 a month. Now take the $1000 rent, minus $250, and your actual rent is $750. Now lets assume YOUR mortgage payment is $500 a month on the home. $750 rent collected - $500 mortgage payment = $250 of rent (income) is added to your income.
