Hey there, future homeowners! Today, we're diving into the crucial topic of Debt to Income Ratio. Don't worry; it's not as intimidating as it sounds! 🤓 This is one of the key factors we consider when helping you qualify for your dream home in beautiful Colorado Springs.

🔍 What is Debt to Income Ratio?
Simply put, it's a financial ratio that helps us determine if you're financially ready for a home loan. We calculate it by dividing your gross income (the money you make before taxes and deductions) by your debts listed on your credit report. This ratio ensures you have enough income to comfortably repay your loan over time.

🏡 Front-End vs. Back-End Ratio:
There are two parts to this ratio: the front-end and the back-end. The front-end ratio focuses on your new housing costs compared to your income, while the back-end ratio considers housing costs plus other credit payments, like credit cards and car loans. We typically pay more attention to the back-end ratio.

💡 Ideal Range:
There's no one-size-fits-all ratio, but aiming for a range between 40% to 43% is generally a great target. However, keep in mind that loan types like VA and FHA Loans offer more flexibility and can sometimes go above 50%, depending on your unique financial situation.
