    Thank you for educating us how DTI is calculated. I have spoken to several Lenders and didn't quite understand how our debts affected the pre-approval amount. Now it's very clear and after watching this, we will hold off our decision to buy.

    • @NicoleNark
      @NicoleNark  2 года назад +1

      I am so happy that you find the videos helpful! 😊 As a self employed individual lenders are going to look at your net income after deductions. They will look at your most recent 2 years of tax returns and divide the net income by 24 months to give them a typical monthly income. One of the big obstacles is the fact that it is net income. When I buy homes, I have to go through the same process.

    I owe about $50,000 in credit card debt that has my score unacceptable for a home loan right now. Best thing I can do is pay down as much as possible in the next 18 months and then see about where everything looks. There's no way I can get approved at this time, there's too many derogatory marks on the report, now I see how to play the game.

    What’s would be the total amount you think we should have in savings for a house aside from grants and loans?
    I understand we don’t need to have a big amount of savings because of the programs or loans but what would be a safe zone per say for ourselves to finally say ok we think we’re ready to commit into searching for a home?
    We’re looking into start with our home process but so far we only have around 5,000 in savings I’m a little worried that it won’t be enough after grants or the loans but we would be a first time home buyers

  • @bluephone1328
    @bluephone1328 2 года назад +1

    The video was very interesting but im just curious, rather than all the dividing to find out the dti to find the 45%. If you know your gross income, why not just find 45% of whatever the gross income is? It seems much simpler. Then figure out your debts and whats left would be what you qualify for with a mortgage payment.

    • @NicoleNark
      @NicoleNark  2 года назад +3

      Good question Jorge! It is the job of the lender to sell you a loan. They do not necessarily care how practical your payment is after you close on the loan. So lenders will use your gross income when calculating how much you can afford. It is your job to make sure that you have enough take home pay to feel comfortable with those payments!

Do we wait for a whole year after him starting to file taxes to show his yearly gross? We had trouble in the past getting approved since he was self employed and after deductions his pay didn’t look like a lot. This is all new to us.
