What is DTI and why will a lender consider it for a UTampa-area mortgage?
DIRECT ANSWER
Debt-to-income ratio compares total monthly debt payments, including housing expenses and other debts, with gross monthly income; lenders use it when evaluating a mortgage application, but each loan program and lender sets its own requirements.
