Debt-to-income ratio

The amount of debt you have across all your obligations (mortgage loans, car loans, credit card payments, etc.) compared with your income. Many financial experts recommend maintaining a debt-to-income ratio of 36 percent or less. If your debt load is a significant percentage of your income, you may have trouble qualifying for a loan.
