Getting around debt to income?

[Igor G.]

I currently own, and let's say my debt to income is at 50%.  This would basically disqualify me from obtaining another mortgage. Short of moving, renting my place out, and then applying for a mortgage after I can offset my debt with the rental income, is there any other way of doing this?

I lightly peruse these boards and haven't seen much on the topic. I feel like there has to be another way, because the traditional method sounds like such a hassle, that people would be complaining about it.
