I Bought a car in sept, what r my chances for getting a mortgage?

What lenders are concerned about is your income to debt ratio. If you owe too much in debt as a percentage of your income, you could be denied. The car may or may not have any effect. Contact a local mortgage broker in your area. Give them an application, and they will quickly determine your loan qualifications. In MN, WI, and SD, visit www.MortgagesUnlimited.biz

Amazing as it seems, you need to earn about $2.50 monthly for every $1.00 of car payment (car note=$400, you need to earn an extra $1,000 per month). This will affect your debt ratio, and determine what price house you can buy.

It depends on your debt to income ratio and the type of home loan applying for (VA, FHA, Conventional) Each allows for a different debt to income ratio maximums. Other factors are also considered such as how much you have saved up that you can show as reserves. Feel free to contact me at 619-669-5518 if any additional questions.

Good info from others already, in addition to affecting your debt ratio the new will also affect your credit score, most likely lowering it as any new account normally does.

Taking on new debt can lower your score, but for qualifying purposes, the lender looks at the MONTHLY DEBT payments and not how much you owe, when determining one's eligibility.. Typically, 43% to 45% Monthly Debt to Income Ratios are the max most lending programs go. The lenders do not include your monthly bills.. so your utility bills, cell phone or insurance payments, etc.. those BILLS are not taken into consideration. Only debt payments.

That all depends on your current debt-to-income ratio and credit score. If you have a high amount of monthly debt obligations in comparison to your monthly income, then it will be difficult for you to get approved for a mortgage. You can calculate your debt-to-income ratio by adding up the minimum monthly payment for all debt obligations and dividing it by your monthly income.
