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.
You can put just 10% down on a conventional loan, despite the popular belief that these loans require 20%. This option requires private mortgage insurance (PMI), which is typically very affordable. In many cases, opting for PMI is a better strategy than trying to come up with 20% down. Check your conventional loan rates now
