BACK TO BASICS
DEBT RATIO

Deb t Ratios are the relationship between ones income and one expenses. Ratios are generally express as two numbers like 31 over 43 or 31/43. The first number, the 31, represents the relationship between the borrowers income and his new housing expense of principle , interest, taxes, insurance and homeowners dues. A borrower who makes $3,000 per month and has a housing expense of $930 would have a 31% top end ratio.

The other number of 43% represents the total monthly debt, including all other debt such as credit cards, loans, child support, etc. Thus in our example of the borrower that makes $3,000 per month and had a total expense of $1,290, would have a 41% bottom ratio.

Realtors,
Do you know how to calculate FHA Monthly MIP?
If you have a client looking to purchase a home using an FHA 30 fixed loan with 3.5% down your FHA Monthly MIP factor is 1.15%.
Here is how you calculate your FHA Monthly MIP. - Purchase price $100,000 - 3.5% down-payment - 96.5% Loan amount – $100,000 * .965 = $96,500 - $96,5* MI Factor of .0115 = $1,109.95 / 12 months = Monthly MIP of 92.48.
