Mortgage lending changes 2021

[Alan Dunlap]

Hello BP community!

Any lenders out there have any opinions on the lending changes coming in 2021? The DTI requirements are being replaced, using other factors to qualify for mortgage:

I wonder if this will be helpful for investors, or just allows more people to qualify for mortgages.

Happy holidays !
