How Much Debt Can I Have and Still Apply for a Home Loan? Well, you can still apply for a home loan but whether you'll get approved or not is going to be a different story come 2014. In the past there have been debt to income loan limits of about 50%. This means that 50% of your income could go to loans and debts. That's all changing starting January, 2014. The new debt to income ratio will be 43%. This is actually a good sign of a healthy and growing economy. Lenders increased the debt to income loan ratio about three or four years ago in order to get more homebuyers on the market and make easier to apply for a home loan. But now, lenders are getting stricter when it comes to borrowers they will lend to. Because of that reason they are dropping the debt to income ratio to 43%. This mea... 12/20/2013

It’s December 16 – Is there enough time to close before Christmas or the end of the year? I hear that at least once or twice each year when buyers or anxious sellers are scrambling to close a deal before the end of the year. It all depends on where you're at in the transaction process. If you're already through the inspection and appraisal and you only need to hear from your escrow or closing agent on final signing, it's very likely that it will happen before the end of the year and possibly before Christmas. But if you haven't even applied for a home loan yet, found the home you want or had mutual acceptance on the offer, chances are very slim that you will close before the end of the year unless you're paying cash. When you purchase a home with cash things can happen at a much faster ... 12/16/2013
