Conventional Loan Debt-to-Income Ratios. Generally, the maximum debt-to-income ratio (DTI) for a conventional loan is 43%. However, exceptions can be made for DTIs as high as 50% with strong compensating factors like high credit and/or lots of cash reserves.
Mortgage insurance (private mortgage insurance--PMI for short), is insurance that protects a lender in the event that a borrower defaults on a home loan. Mortgage insurance is usually required when the down payment on a home is less than 20 percent of the loan amount.
