FANNIE MAE'S NEW DEBT TO INCOME RATIO'S

Ahead of the Curve
For Active Real Estate Marketing Professionals...
Fannie Mae has implemented the new debt to income ratio for borrowers in conventional loans: Starting December 1st or thereabouts for most lenders, conventional loan total debt to income ratio's have been brought down to 45%. Up to this point the average TDTI has averaged in the low 50's.
NOW: 45% is the guideline for borrowers that put down 20% or more. For conventional loans with less than 20% down the ratio is restricted to 41%. Please see my above article on debt to income ratios for clarification of what a DTI is.
Why is this change important to real estate professionals? You have pending offers, pre-approvals and deals in the pipeline that currently have ratios above 45%. These deal may have problems closing. Take a moment to inquire about these offers or pre-approvals and make sure the home buyers will be able to close.
Please call me at (847) 873-7295 to discuss nuances. Here to help you get homes financed.
