My friend has just taken a mortgage. I have heard about these different types of ratios when qualifying for a loan. He gave me a fair idea but I want to know more about it. I am planning to take a mortgage loan soon. Your replies will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Through front end ratios a lender calculates, how much of your monthly income will be used for your mortgage payment. And,

Through back end ratio a lender calculates, how much of your monthly income is used for payment of your debt including credit card debts, car loan alimony etc.

Thanks,
Jerry
