Will eliminating old escrow help Debt to Income Ratio?

Giora Sela

I was wondering if I had eliminated escrows on my current mortgages will make any difference when applying for a new loan?

If my payment is now officially $150 less a month because I paid insurance and taxes directly, will a new lander notice and just add that back to my debt payments? 

Just trying to maximize my loan amount with conventional mortgages

Even if you pay them Directly the lender will still factor them into DTI. your payment doesn't become $150 less it just becomes $150 a month less that your current servicer is letting you take care of directly instead of your one lump sum payment to your servicer.
