VA Home Morgages – Hawaii
Factors That Affect
Affordability for Honolulu VA Loans
Local mortgage brokers calculate your debt-to-income ratio to assess how much VA loan you can afford to purchase a home on Oahu. Consequently, the Debt-to-income ratio or DTI shows the relationship between monthly debt and your monthly income. Moreover, to assess your DTI ratio, our affordability calculator uses your expense and income information to create an estimate.
Oahu VA loans do not have a DTI ratio hard cap. Depending on the circumstances of the borrower and the mortgage lender providing the loan, benchmarks may vary. A homebuyer with a DTI that is higher than 41 percent will generally receive more scrutiny. However, this is not a strict cutoff or disqualification from obtaining a home mortgage.
As part of the VA loan process, Hawaii lenders collect information about recurring or large debt payments from your credit report. However, VA lending institutions generally do not factor in expenses such as gas, groceries, and other costs associated with lifestyle needs. Hence, these expenses do not need to factor in when calculating VA loan affordability.
