Leverage a low Debt-to-income ratio with your credit score

Your debt-to-income ratio is exactly what it sounds like: the amount of debt you have compared to your overall income.

To calculate your overall debt-to-income ratio add up all of your monthly debt. Take this total and divide it by your gross monthly income from all sources.

While debt-to-income ratios don't have the kind of buzz that credit scores do, they can play a key role in determining if you qualify for a loan and how much you can get.

While other factors, such as your credit score and length of time in your home or job, will come into play into this equation, a good debt-to-income ratio can give you leverage to negotiate if other factors aren't in your favor.

Mortgage after Bankruptcy

Many people believe that once they file for bankruptcy they will have a difficult time getting a mortgage loan. However, there is still hope for being approved even with a recent bankruptcy. If you have bad credit and apply for a mortgage loan, more emphasis will be placed on your income your down payment.
You do not have to wait two years

Most lenders prefer to wait until two years after your bankruptcy before considering a person for a mortgage loan. After these two years, it should be relatively easy to get financing. In addition, you will probably be able to get one hundred percent financing. This will happen as long as all your payments have been reported as on time to the credit bureau since your bankruptcy.
