Florida VA Benefits for FL Veterans. This page is devoted to benefits available to Florida veterans from the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs (FDVA). If you are looking for information on VA compensation and/or pension in FL I have a separate page on that subject.
Conventional Loan Debt-to-Income Ratios. Generally, the maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI) for a conventional loan is 43%. However, exceptions can be made for DTIs as high as 50% with strong compensating factors like high credit and/or lots of cash reserves.
Mortgage lenders use DTI to ensure you're not being over extended with your new loan. Experts recommend having a DTI ratio of 25/25 or below. A conventional financing limit is under 28/36. FHA guaranteed mortgages need to be under 31/43.
