Understanding Your Numbers
The 39% Rule (GDS)
Lenders typically prefer that your housing costs (Principal, Interest, Taxes, Heat) don't exceed 39% of your gross income.
Total Debt Ratio (TDS)
Your total debt (housing + car loans + credit cards) should ideally stay below 44% to qualify for the best rates.
Advisor Tip
"Numerical affordability is only half the battle. Often, a buyer qualifies for $500k but feels more comfortable at $450k for lifestyle reasons. We help you find the intersection of bank limits and personal comfort."
