Lending for FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS

[Melanie E. Miller]

Hi guys! I'm a real estate broker in the Chicagoland area- can any lenders offer some insight on how to help first time home buyers qualify for the FHA program despite having student loan debt. A lot of my current lender referrals are not knowledgeable on how to help buyers get qualified if they look at 1% of the student repayment and therefor impacts their overall DTI.. if any lender has some insight I'd really appreciate it and I'd love to build a relationship for referrals in the future.
