I graduated from college last year and am wanting to buy/build a house. I am curious about how likely it is to get approved for home loans when I have around $60,000 in debt from school. Is this even an option for me right now?
It all depends on your Debt to Income ratio. Basically, if you are making $4,000 a month before taxes, a bank will try to make sure that your total payments (student loans, car, and house payments) does not exceed 35% of your pre-tax income. So if your total payments of long term debt would exceed about $1,400, chances are that you will get turned down. Also, a lot of banks are requiring 75% loan to value on properties. So unless you have 25% to place on a down payment, or can obtain a virtually unsecured loan for the downpayment,you might be out of luck at the moment.
This is all assuming you have a excellent credit score of 700+.



depends on your credit score and your debit to income ratio. I would seek a pre-approval letter for financing thru your current bank – before seeking out a property to buy. that way you know if you are qualified and your price range.
