DTI ratio

FHA loans are available for borrowers with lower credit scores or a short credit history. They also have more lenient debt-to-income (DTI) ratios than conventional home mortgages. An FHA home loan can help some borrowers buy a property they otherwise couldn’t afford due to the lack of a high down payment or a DTI ratio that doesn’t meet conventional mortgage criteria. Because Los Angeles County has increased home prices, FHA loans are available for over $1 million.
