I know you are probably asking yourself if you don't put money down you will not see a rate of return on your investment. There is no rate of return on equity. Besides, if you put those monies down, they may be difficult to get back if an emergency requires the money. You can also potentially lose the money if economic conditions affect house values. |

While theoretically you may rationalize the higher the loan amount the higher your monthly payment will be, there are mitigating circumstances to consider such as what type of return I would receive on my investment and how will various loan products impact my goals and objectives. It is highly advisable that you consult with a professional that will objectively provide you an opportunity to look at all sides of the picture prior to making a decision.

This lessens the risk of default. Second, if you have significant assets and they are fairly liquid, such as a stock portfolio, a lender may make you a loan even though your debt ratio is high because you have the ability to come up with payments outside of your wages or the ability to purchase the property in full if you have to. If the lender makes this type of loan - a so-called asset based loan - it will probably take a security interest in the assets instead of, or in addition to, your house. The typical bank will not make an asset based loan for the purchase of residential property, and you'll probably have to seek out a lender who specializes in this. |

The debt ratio is one of the most important factors used by mortgage lenders to determine whether to make a loan at all and the size of the loan. Ideally, the ratio will be greater than one. If it is greater than one, it means that borrower has enough income to pay all her debts and make other routine payments such as those necessary for utilities, food, and entertainment. If the buyer has a ratio of less than one, he does not have enough income to make his debt payments, let alone those other expenses. Not surprisingly, a lender does not want to lend to someone who does not have enough income to pay off all his debt. Instead, a lender prefers to see a ratio of about 1.3, which means that the borrower has about 30% more money than she needs to pay her debt - in other words, she has money to pay her debts and live on, too. Or, sometimes, the lender will make a loan to a person with a low debt ratio if the person has substantial assets or other income. For instance, a person with a low income, but significant stock portfolio may get a loan anyhow.

Pre-approval, on the other hand, means that the potential buyer has submitted almost all the documents necessary to be granted a home loan. The lender has checked the potential buyer's credit and other financial information, and is reasonably certain that it will extend a loan to the buyer. At this stage, the buyer knows the maximum amount the lender will give her, and she is in a stronger bargaining position with the seller because she is a viable buyer who will be able to close more quickly than a buyer whose loan has not already been approved. |
