My FICO, DTI and LTV...

will determine whether I get my interest only loan for my cash flow property this year.

FICO, I have previously explained.

DTI is Debt-to-Income ratio. Basically it is the minimum amount of all payments you must make every month divided by your monthly income. The qualifications will vary, but over forty-five percent and you will be hard pressed.

LTV is Loan-to-Value ratio. This is simple. It is the percentage of the value of the property that you borrow. Borrow 80,000 of 100,000 and your LTV is 80%. This is where FICO is important.

Own your FICO.
