Not Sure How Your Student Loans Will Count?

Student loans almost always count in your conventional debt-to-income ratio — even if payments are deferred. Lenders use your actual payment when documented, or a calculated percentage of the balance when the payment is missing or $0.

The payment used for DTI depends on what shows on your credit report and documentation.

Small documentation choices can change qualifying DTI by hundreds of dollars a month.

Accurate student loan docs keep DTI from being guessed too high.

A short plan can unlock more buying power without waiting years.
