The current FHA guidelines allow for that debt to be ignored, however on September 14th, that changes.. the lender will be required to take either 2% of your outstanding student loan debt, or the actual payment and add it to your ratios. Conventional guidelines require we use 1% of your outstanding balance or the actual payment.. So, as of the 14th of next month, all conforming guidelines will require that the lender account for a payment against your ratios for student loans..

Most conventional lenders will use your actual payment. If its deferred or does not indicate, they will calculate the payment at 1% of the balance.Starting this fall, FHA will use 2% of the balance as a payment on deferred loans. If you are buying right away, you may be able to beat the deadline.Ross Bennett407-461-1066RossBennettCMB@gmail.com

Conventional loans will count that debt as part of your liabilities to determine debt income. Conventional does NOT allow deferred loans. As for FHA they will allow deferred loans and exclude it from your debt as long as it is deferred a min of 12 months after the close of the purchase transaction which it appears it does. So it would appear your purchasing power would be greater with FHA vs. conventional. Hope this helps...Good luck...
