I have student loans but they are deferred. Will they count as a part of my DTI?

The payments would be included. You might consider refinancing the student loans if that would reduce the payment.

They will count as part of your DTI. There was a time when we could dismissthem from the DTI if deferred for at least 3 years, but no more.You might be pleasantly surprised at what you can reduce your student loan payments to if you have not done so yet, in refinancing them. If they are government it may be possible to consolidate them into one low loan payment.

The the student loan will need to be included into the debt to ratios numbers. I hope this helps. Jesse Stroup | California Mortgage Professional | www.JesseStroup.com | NMLS# 6229

Yes.. if you provide a statement from the student loan servicer stating what the payments will be once you are out of deferment, then the lender will use those anticipated payments for qualifying purposes.. if you do not provide this from the lender, then the mortgage lender must add 2% of your outstanding balance and add that as the newly anticipated payment..
