Hoosier Homes Guide

What Is the Maximum Debt-to-Income (DTI) Ratio Allowed?

Hoosier Homes allows a maximum DTI of up to 50% when the Automated Underwriting System (AUS) approves the file — credit, income, and first-mortgage findings still have to clear.

Hoosier Homes Overview

Up to 50% With AUS Approval

Debt-to-income compares your total monthly debt payments to gross monthly income. For Hoosier Homes, the program ceiling is maximum DTI up to 50% with Automated Underwriting System (AUS) approval.

“Up to 50%” is a ceiling, not a promise. AUS may approve a lower ratio based on credit layers, reserves, or loan type. Lender overlays on FHA, VA, USDA, or HFA conventional can also sit below 50%.

Ryan and Steve run AUS early with realistic PITI so you know whether Hoosier Homes DTI works before you write an offer.
