Are you stating you have debts totalling $500 per month or $500 as the total balance of your debt(s)? I hope we can help...

Your Debt-To-Income ratio is a little above the standard for automated approval, but you do qualify based on the figures you have given. I would recommend you staying below the $320k mark and try to stay around $300k so you don't over extend yourself. I hope this helps...

Hi, Well 500 a month for your debt. You make around 5k a month after taxes? I would say to stay around 300k for a loan. You can have someone here run the numbers for you. Your fico score of 700 is good, income is good. We need a little more info to help you out.

Hi John,

If you are going for an FHA loan, a down payment of 3.5% should be enough to qualify you. You need not put down 10% of your purchase price to get approved for the loan. However, apart from the 3.5% down payment, you will have to pay the closing costs and an upfront MIP for the FHA loan. A credit score of 620 is required for FHA loan. So, creditwise you will definitely qualify for an FHA loan.

Hello John, I am not sure how everyone is so quick to state that you qualify. On just your income against your assets with a mortgage of 300,000 and a rate of 5.5% your ratios are 35/41 which are certainly approvable. The problem is you need to include your taxes and your insurance and also your private mortgage insurance to see if you do in fact qualify. I think it will be tight depending on these variables. If you have any questions let me know.

The other thing I did not see mentioned is if you are looking in TX outside of the San Antonio area the FHA limit will be $271k. Hope that helps.

Those numbers do look really good. And yes with FHA you can put as little as 3.5% down payments.
