Balancing Student Loans & Homeownership
Don't let student debt hold you back from buying a home. We offer specialized solutions that help you achieve both financial goals.
Income-Based Treatment
Some of our lenders use your actual student loan payment amount rather than the standard 1% of the loan balance, improving your debt-to-income ratio.
Deferment & Forbearance Options
For loans in deferment, some programs exclude these from your debt calculations completely, or use a minimal payment calculation.
Student Loan Forgiveness Consideration
If you're in PSLF or another forgiveness program, we can work with lenders who take this into account when calculating your debt burden.

Calculate AffordabilityFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions from young professionals about the mortgage process
Most lenders require a 2-year history of receiving bonuses or commissions to include them as qualifying income. For RSUs and stock options, lenders typically look at vesting schedules and company stability. Our specialty programs for tech professionals have more flexible approaches to equity compensation, often requiring just one year of history and using conservative calculations for future vesting.
Yes! We offer several options for professionals with strong income but limited credit history. Some of our lenders will consider alternative credit data like rent payments, utility bills, and subscription services. We also have programs that place more emphasis on your professional credentials and income stability than on your credit score. Additionally, we can guide you through rapid credit-building strategies to improve your options.
Student loans affect your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, a key metric lenders use to determine affordability. Different loan programs calculate student loan payments differently - some use your actual payment amount (great for income-based repayment plans), while others use 0.5-1% of your total balance. Our mortgage specialists can guide you to programs that treat student debt most favorably for your situation, and we have specialized options for medical professionals, attorneys, and other careers with typically high student debt.
This depends on your specific situation. Generally, if your student loans have higher interest rates than current mortgage rates, paying those down first may make financial sense. However, with today's low down payment options and available assistance programs, many young professionals can achieve both goals simultaneously. Our financial advisors can help you create a balanced approach that considers interest rates, tax benefits, investment opportunities, and your timeline for homeownership.
