Income to debt ratio
I'm married and file income tax jointly with my wife. Question is if I'm trying to take out a mortgage by myself, when banks calculate loan amount based on income to debt ratio and credit score, do they check my wife's credit score and her debt? My wife does not work, but she has a car payment under her name. I do not have any debt. Thank you. by douglasb4 from Dallas, Texas. Mar 2nd 2010

If you make the application with you as the only borrower , it doesn't matter what your wife's circumstances are , however you will not be able to use her income , if you do that.

If it is an FHA loan we have to look at the entire credit profile of both you and your wife along wiht all debt. We would use all family debt against all income, which in this case is just your income. Conventional loans do not require us to do this. We only look at your income , debt and credit.
