Debt-to-Income AnalysisWith $1,279 in monthly expenses:• Total debt to income for Social Worker or HS Teacher= 45%• Total Debt to Income for Elementary School Teacher= 48%Most lenders prefer DTI to be 35-40%, at 45 OR 48% any money that would need to be borrowed in the future would be extremely difficult to obtain. Making payments would be difficult at this level of DTI, because it doesn't include living expenses.
