does fannie mae count my 401k in the DTI or any other ratios?

If i withdrew a small amount of 401k for a hospital bill will this affect my chances of good interest rates on a loan or will a lender understand. by d1_davey989332 from San Antonio, Texas. Nov 8th 2013 Reply

No, 401K loans will not affect your DTI ratios.

Since the loan is secured by an asset (the 401k) you own it won't be considered.

No... when taking money from a 401k, you are only borrowing your own money, so we don't count it at all.

Not an issue at all, it only affects the amount that can be counted as reserves (if needed). The rate is impacted by your credit score, type of loan and other qualifcations.

401k is an asset, not a debt, so you are fine.
