Home Mortgage Loan Qualification
Debt Ratio

Debt ration is one of the most important numbers that a mortgage underwriter uses to qualify you for a mortgage loan. Here we recommend you to use 40% as a guideline. However there are many mortgage programs that may use ratios much higher than that depending on your loan to value ratio and credit rating.

Find Out How Much Mortgage You Are Qualified For, Before Investing Your Time Looking for Properties.

Mortgage qualification is be far the most important step in the home buying process. For most of us, our home is the single biggest investment we have. That is where most of our equity is and that is where our future retirement resources are.
The type of mortgage that we obtain to purchase our home plays a very important role in the way equity builds up for our future.

Before spending hours driving around looking at properties, you should get together with a loan officer and go over your particulars and get verbally pre qualified for a mortgage. A competent mortgage loan officer should be able to pre qualify you within about 20 minutes or so. Follow that up by supplying all the documentation they require to get fully pre qualified for the type of home mortgage that you are interested in.
