Purchasing with Fixed Income.

Your "ratios" don't increase, but your income might.. FHA will "Gross Up" your tax free income by 25% assuming you are not required to file a tax return, but the lender will need to verify that your income is tax free.. assuming it meets the guidelines, then your $66K annual becomes $82,500 annual. When lenders talk about "ratio's".. we're talking about your Debt to Income ratio. We add up all the minimum payments on your outstanding debt, add any child support, alimony, tax payments, or any other "Payments" that's associated with debt.. then we add the housing payment as well.. that number get's divided by your monthly income to come up with a DTI.. with FHA, you can go as high as 57%, but you might not get approved for that high a ratio with a 668 credit score. In all reality.. you should pick up the phone and call a local mortgage professional.. give them 5 minutes of your time and they will tell you exactly what you can qualify for.. no more guessing..
