Is there such a thing as a minimum debt to income ratio requirement?

No, but there is a Maximum Debt To Income (DTI) Ratio, which varies by loan programs. I can help if you need any more information on something specific. Email me from this site if you'd like. Thank you! Steven Ceceri with First National Bank of Layton (Utah)

I'm sure there is, but I have never seen one applied. Certain loan programs have caps on income and / or discretionary income, but that is not the same as a minimum Debt-to-Income ratio. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

There is no minimum, just a maximum, depending on your specific loan type and credit score. The lower DTI the better!

Technically no, but if you have no debt, it might be hard to show the lender if your responsible with credit if you don't have any credit or use credit..

Lenders will look at the maximum debt to income ratio but not a minimum debt to income ratio.

Typically we can go up to 50% debt to income or in some circumstances up to 55% dti if we can get an approval. Let me know if I can be of service. P: 888-320-7888 - Ken@MortgagesforAmerica.org

No minimum debt to income ratio but yes there is a maximum. There are trade line requirements with some lenders. The will typically want three open and active trade lines on your credit.

No not at all... You can never make too much money or buy too small of a home for you debt profile. Sounds like a really good problem to have. Good luck!

Nope... Just maximums, which vary based mostly on loan product.
