What\u2019s considered a good debt-to-income ratio in Quebec? And most importantly, how can you tell if your current situation looks healthy to lenders? Let\u2019s break it down.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><b>What Is the Debt-to-Income Ratio?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is a percentage that shows how much of your monthly income goes toward repaying your debts. The higher your ratio, the riskier you appear to lenders.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a mortgage, a healthy debt-to-income ratio is typically below <\/span><b>40%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means that all your monthly debts, mortgage payments, car loans, credit cards, and other obligations, should not exceed 40% of your gross monthly income. Banks tend to be strict about this threshold.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, <\/span><b>private lenders see things differently.<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A high debt-to-income ratio isn\u2019t always a deal-breaker.
