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.
One Secret: Owe Less. The secret to getting a mortgage is to cap your monthly debt payments at the difference between your DTI and LTI ratio, Mosca explains. For example, if you have the aforementioned $40,000 of income, your DTI supports $1,433 of debt, and your maximum loan payment is $967. If you have more than $466 in payments on credit cards, personal loans, vehicle loans and car debt, it'll cut into your maximum loan amount.
