Drag the arrow or click on the slider track to adjust your DTI ratio
This home price is likely affordable for you. A DTI ratio of 36% or less is an indicator that you'll be able to pay debt and live comfortably.
Understanding DTI Percentages:
Front-End DTI (housing only): Your monthly mortgage payment, property tax, insurance, and HOA fees divided by your gross monthly income. Back-End DTI (all debts): All monthly debt payments (including housing) divided by your gross monthly income. Most lenders prefer back-end DTI under 43%.
