Debt Ratio - Living with Roommates

[Bret Habura]

Hi,

I am in the process of closing on a property and my lender informed me that my debt to income ratio may be too high. I live with roommates and in total our rent is $3600/month. My portion of the rent is $900. It sounds like he is going to use the $3600 amount. Is there anything I can do to fix this so that the deal goes through?

Thanks,

Bret
