Scenarios

Student loans on the file. The payment on the report is what counts.

Student loans do not automatically kill a purchase. They hit DTI the way the credit report and the program treat the payment — deferred, IDR, or fully amortizing. I use the overlay, not a forum rule of thumb.

  • FHA, conventional, and VA treat reported payments differently.
  • Physician / professional programs exist when income is the story.
  • Do not pay off the wrong loan the week before you apply without talking first.

If my student loans are deferred, is the payment zero?
Often not. Many overlays impute a payment. I will not quote the factor as a website rule.

Not an approval. Not a rate. Overlay at lock. NMLS #1858674.
