Does child support count as debt when applying for a mortgage?
I've been running numbers all day because I just found a house I'm in love with. And now I'm just depressed. It seems we will never get a decent mortgage with school loans and child support with a strict as everything is. Never mind we've paid our rent on time every single month for 5 years, even when DH was unemployed.
/end public pity party.
Re: Does child support count...
Our credit is really high, like give or take 50 points from perfect type of high. But just from what I've read online/online calculators our DTI is close to maxed out WITHOUT a mortgage.
^^ Yup. When my husband and I were looking at houses this past Summer, the bank took into consideration what we pay out in CS. Granted, they also tried to calculate in what I'm supposed to receive in CS from my XH.
Even with a wacky DTI, a super high score will allow more "wiggle" room. I hope you guys are able to get it all figured out. Good luck!
