DTI Guidelines on FHA, VA, Conventional, Jumbo, and Non-QM Loans in Illinois

Every loan program has its own debt-to-income ratio requirements. The front-end DTI is the proposed estimated monthly housing payment divided by the borrower’s monthly gross income before taxes. The back-end debt to income ratio is the housing payment PLUS the sum of all minimum monthly payments divided by the borrower’s gross monthly before taxed income. Here are the general agency debt-to-income ratio guidelines:

• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not have front-end debt-to-income ratio requirements on conventional loans.
• Only the back-end debt-to-income ratio is counted on conventional loans. Debt-to-income ratio on conventional loans is capped at 45% to 50% DTI.
• FHA loans front-end DTI is at 46.9% and back-end DTI is capped at 56.9% for borrowers with at least a 580 FICO score.
• Borrowers with credit scores under 580 FICO and down to 500, the maximum debt-to-income ratio is capped at 31% front-end and 43% back-end DTI.
• USDA loans cap is at 29% front-end and 41% back-end.
• Jumbo loans normally cap between 40% to 50% depending on the lender.
• Non-QM loans normally has a max back-end debt-to-income ratio cap of 50% DTI.

VA Debt-To-Income Ratio Guidelines

VA loans do not have a maximum DTI cap on VA loans. As long as the borrower has strong residual income, he or she should be able to get an approve/eligible per AUS. Gustan Cho Associates has no lender overlays on VA loans. We have closed countless VA loans with credit scores down to 500 FICO and debt-to-income ratio surpassing the 60% DTI level.

Manual Underwriting DTI Guidelines

VA and FHA loans are the only two mortgage loan programs allowing manual underwriting. FHA and VA manual underwriting guidelines are exactly the same. The debt-to-income ratio guidelines on manual underwriting on VA loans and FHA loans are the following:

• 31% front-end and 43% back-end DTI with no compensating factor
• 37% front-end and 47% back-end DTI with one compensating factor
• 40% front-end and 50% back-end DTI with two compensating factors

The above debt-to-income ratio are for manual underwrites for FHA and VA loans. However, VA loans have more lenient guidelines on manual underwriting than FHA loans. Mortgage underwriters can use underwriter discretion and bump the debt-to-income ratio up to 55% if the borrower shows strong residual income and strong compensating factors.
