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.
To determine your DTI, your lender will total your monthly debts and divide that amount by the money you make each month. Most mortgage programs require homeowners to have a Debt-to-Income of 40% or less, though you may be able to get a loan with up to a 50% DTI under certain circumstances.
