16 July 2016 | 19 replies
Some banks may go more conservative to 75% to reduce their own risk however its important to know this distinction because it could be the difference between getting the loan and not especially with people who have tight DTI ratios.My second point about the above is the "self sufficiency," rule that every is mentioning is not measured by taking 85% of gross rents to meet the entire PITIA of the property if its done in the actual underwriting guidelines you take the entire gross rents of all units and compare it to the PITIA of the property if the total monthly gross rents are the same or greater then it meets the self sufficiency tests for 3-4 unit properties.Regarding the income being above being more than the PITIA or monthly total obligation, this wouldnt happen anyway atleast on owner occupied properties because income on rental property is underwritten separately and added to income while liabilities are added as an obligation you have to qualify for.
