Subject: Adjusting your debt ratios to prepare for a Mortgage

There are many qualifications that potential buyers have to meet before
taking out a mortgage.

Among these is debt to income ratios that many people are not aware of.
For a traditional loan the ratio is 28/36.

What does this mean? It means that your mortgage payment should
not exceed 28% of your income and your total long- term debt
including that of credit cards and your mortgage payment should not
exceed 36% of your monthly income. So how does your debt to income
ratios measure up?

It is smart to try to eliminate or minimize credit card debt before
applying for a mortgage loan.

Put your self on a budget and pay more than the minimum balance due
to hack away at the debt.

Add up all of your credit card debt and other loans and divide it by your
total monthly income.

If its not below 8% (the debt percentage allowed for other debts after
excluding your 28% for mortgage) you may need to concentrate on
lowering and eliminating the debts in order to get your percentage into those
ratios before applying for a loan.

If you have significant amounts of debt that you are paying to several creditors,
it may be a good idea to look into consolidating your debt into one low monthly
payment through a legitimate consolidation company.

Just investigate the consolidation company and see what fees they charge for
their services and make sure it doesn't count against your credit.

If your other debt obligations aren't an issue than make sure that the home
you want to purchase doesn't produce a mortgage that may exceed your
28% for mortgage to income ratio.

If it does, you may need to consider downsizing or paying a larger down payment.

The first thing to do is a self analysis of your current financial situation to see
what adjustments need to be made, if any at all and then come up with a strategic plan
to get your debt into these ratios.
