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.
PMI on conventional loans varies, due to your credit score, the loan type, and the size of your down payment, so there is no general rate. However, monthly PMI on a conventional loan can be canceled once the amount of the loan drops to 78 percent of the original purchase price of the property.n FHA loans, the minimum down payment is 3.5 percent. That can lower your down payment requirement by $3,000 on a $200,000 home purchase. Lower minimum cash to close. Both FHA and conventional loans allow some or all of the down payment on a purchase to come from a gift from a family member.
