Debt to Income
As independent contractors, real estate investors walk the
difficult line between claiming income that they make and taking tax write offs
that may limit their ability to get loans due to their Debt-to-Income ratio (DTI)
not being low enough. I work with a lot
of investors whose biggest obstacle is their DTI ratio; I felt it necessary to
help clear up questions investors might have.
A Short History
When proposed, the Dodd
Frank Act required lenders to have a standard for their loans that they
originate. This is called a “Qualified
Residential Mortgage” or QRM. This definition was so constricting (back-end DTI
maximum of 36%) that there was a lot of protest from real estate agents and
lenders alike to broaden this definition.(cited sec.gov) The push prompted the Dodd frank to be
amended to say that a QRM will be defined as a QM, or Qualified Mortgage. The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is the bureau that defines a QM and that
definition is subject to change.
Currently it is defined as one where there is a maximum DTI of 43% by
the borrower. FHA guidelines also
requiring borrowers to have a maximum debt to income ratio of 43%. So that is
the number that you want to shoot for.
How is Debt defined in DTI?
There are two types of DTI.
Front End and Back End. When
applying for a mortgage, creditors look at Back End DTI so that is what we will
cover.
If you were to pull your credit right now, add up every
minimum reoccurring payment that would show up on your credit report. If you have a credit card debt of $20,000 but
your minimum payment is $35…then you would add $35 to the total amount. If you own your home, remember to add all
property taxes, insurance, and home owner association dues. If you’re renting, make sure to add in your
rent for your place of residence. (Yes they will ask to see your lease)
***If your spouse or parent pays
your rent or mortgage, AND you can provide a 12 month documented history of it,
then you can negate that payment. If you can only provide 11 months of
documentation of them paying that debt for you…then that cost will be calculated in your ratio.
When configuring your Debt in DTI, you should also take into
consideration the minimum payment for any potential new loans you will
soon incur. i.e. the mortgage you are applying for.
***Note that if you have claimed to
be a real estate investor for 2 years on your tax returns, you can also
consider 75% of the potential income that you will receive for your rental
property you plan to purchase.
How is Income defined in Debt to income?
This is your adjusted GROSS MONTHLY Income. You can add back in depreciation on real
estate owned. Unless you own a ton of
houses, I would recommend that you pretend that you can’t add in depreciation
and keep that as a buffer when deciphering income. You never know if/when they
will change the requirements.
***If you are an independent
contractor and get paid on a 1099, add up two years of claimed income on your
tax returns, line 31 of your 1040, and divide by 24 months. If you are a W2 employee you would calculate
two years of line 21 of your 1040 then divide that number by 24.
