Hi gregcooney,

Your fico score is excellent. A 20% down payment is also sufficient to help you get a loan. You also have a 2 year employment history. So, things are looking good for you. As far as the DTI ratio is concerned, it is better to reduce your ratio to somewhere around 50%. A 58-60% DTI ratio is a bit too high. But given the fact that you fulfill the other required eligibility criteria, it is possible that a lender would be ready to offer you the loan even with a high DTI ratio.

As stated in a previous post. A 60% DTI is rather high, but there is an FHA program for individuals like yourself in NY & NJ area. Fixed rates in the 5% range and hassle free process. I hope this helps...

Iam really surprised thet there are still available for people with 60% DTI and also with 20% Down payment

My doubt is that they may ask you to pay some of yoru short term debt before they approve
