Many of the large banks are reducing the maximum debt to income ratio for FHA Loan Qualification.  Fannie Mae made a similar announcement a few months ago effecting conventional loans.  Now even though FHA itself has not made the change, many banks are making it a “Credit Overlay” to prevent home buyers and  homeowners with high debt to income ratios from flocking to FHA Loans now that they no longer qualify for conventional loans.

This change will limit FHA borrowers to 50% of their income being spent in debt.  If you take all of your credit card payments, car payments, loan payments and mortgage payment divided by your income, the number has to be less than 50%.  FHA’s Total Scorecard Underwriting System continues to approve certain borrowers with up to 57% of their income being utilized for debt, but with this new “credit overlay” many banks are not accepting the approval.
