5/14/24 – What you need to make to qualify I will go a different route today as I am teaching a bit today. Qualifying for a loan can be difficult with higher interest rates, higher insurance rates, and low inventory. Debt-to-income ratios have not changed, and they sit at 47/56 for FHA financing, 50/50 for most conventional loans with good credit, and 45/45 for Jumbo products. VA Loans don’t have a maximum debt-to-income ratio, and it is pretty close to unlimited for a disabled Veteran. Using today’s interest and insurance rates, here is what a client will need to make for the following loan scenarios: FHA 3.5% down – $600,000 Price – Principal and Interest $3535 / Property Taxes $625 / Insurance $100 / HOA $450 + PMI $265 = $4962. // 129K Annual Income required to qualify // $1000 in monthly car payments, CC… Conventional Loan 5% down – $600,000 Price – Principal and Interest $3697 / Property Taxes $625 / Insurance $100 / HOA $450 + PMI 166 = $5038 // 145K Annual Income required to qualify // $1000 in monthly car payments, CC… Conventional Loan 20% down – $900,000 Price – Principal and Interest $4610 / Property Taxes $938 / Insurance $400 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $6023 // 181K Annual Income required to qualify // $1500 in monthly car payments, CC… Conventional Loan 20% down – $900,000 Price – Principal and Interest $4610 / Property Taxes $938 / Insurance $400 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $6023 // 145K Annual Income required to qualify // $0 in monthly car payments, CC… Conventional Loan 20% down – $1,250,000 Price – Principal and Interest $6646 / Property Taxes $1302 / Insurance $550 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $8573 // 242K Annual Income required to qualify // $1500 in monthly car payments, CC… Conventional Loan 20% down – $1,250,000 Price – Principal and Interest $6646 / Property Taxes $1302 / Insurance $550 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $8573 // 206K Annual Income required to qualify // $0 in monthly car payments, CC… Jumbo Loan 20% down – $1,250,000 Price – Principal and Interest $6646 / Property Taxes $1302 / Insurance $550 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $8573 // 270K Annual Income required to qualify // $1500 in monthly car payments, CC… You will need 3-12 months of PITI in Reserves. Jumbo Loan 20% down – $1,250,000 Price – Principal and Interest $6646 / Property Taxes $1302 / Insurance $550 / HOA $75 + PMI 0 = $8573 // 229K Annual Income required to qualify // $0 in monthly car payments, CC… You will need 3-12 months of PITI in Reserves. Agents don’t like to discuss qualifications with clients, but if you are sitting at an open house or speaking to someone, this may give you a better idea of what a buyer needs to do to purchase a specific home.
