What is DTI?

Debt-to-Income ratio compares your monthly debt payments to your gross monthly income:

  • Front-End DTI: Housing payment / Income
  • Back-End DTI: (Housing + All Debts) / Income

VA Loan DTI Guidelines

  • Maximum DTI: Typically 41% (can be higher with compensating factors)
  • Compensating Factors: Strong residual income, excellent credit, significant assets
  • Flexibility: VA loans are more flexible than conventional loans
