offers more tips on how to dispute credit errors at www.consumer.ftc.gov. If you have liens or collections on your credit report, get them resolved as soon as possible, says Carol Lynn Upshaw, vice president of Private Mortgage Services in Atlanta. “You’ll also want to talk to a mortgage broker to get pre-qualified to determine what your debt-to-income ratio is and then decide if you need to pay down some balances so you can purchase more house,” Upshaw says. Lebda says that the standard debtto-income ratio when determining a person’s “lendability” is 28:36, meaning that 28 percent of total monthly income (before taxes) can go toward the mortgage payment and 36 percent of total income can go toward the total monthly debt. An acceptable level of debt is approximately 8 percent of total pre-tax income. Additionally, potential homebuyers must understand how much they can af-

ford before hunting for a mortgage. “Make a budget and live by that budget. Get everybody in your family on board and be committed to working together for what could be a long process. It could even take a few years [to get out of debt],” says Rodney Powell, broker, Powell Real Estate, Tomball, Texas. “Start paying off bills, and don’t buy any new stuff or take vacations.” It might sound too simple to be true, but the key to debt reduction is simply not spending more than you have. Credit cards make it too easy to break this rule, so Lebda says, “Consider reducing or discontinuing the use of your credit cards until you can comfortably manage a zero to low card balance.” Lastly, remember that you’ll need cash available for a down payment. A minimum of 20 percent of the cost of the home is usually required, so make sure to set aside some money in your rush to pay down debts.

Q&A

Why Not Prepay ARMs?

generally a good thing. The issue faced by many borrowers is different. The savings rate in the U.S. is less than 4 percent. In many cases, tough economic times make prepayments difficult. ARMs in general shift the risk of inflation from lenders to consumers. That’s not a problem at this time, but it could be in the future if rates rise and payments go higher. For instance, as this is written, 30-year fixedrate financing for well-qualified borrowers is available below 3.5 percent. That’s near the historic low for mortgage rates – but what if rates go higher? The fact is that rates can plainly go up: In 1982, mortgage levels were above 14 percent. For those with fixed-rate mortgages, rising interest levels are not a financial threat. But for ARM borrowers, higher monthly costs

QUESTION: You write about the advantages of prepaying fixed-rate mortgages but not the benefits of paying ahead with adjustable rate mortgages. I have prepaid my ARM over time and now enjoy far lower monthly costs because of less principal and lower rates. Why not encourage more people to take this approach?

ANSWER: You raise an important point. ARMs can be attractive for some borrowers, and prepaying such loans can be advantageous. You understand and have taken advantage of ARMs, as rates have largely declined over time. You have also prepaid your loan, which is

declined. If ARMs seem enticing, then look at FHA, VA and conventional ARMs. Such loan products have rate caps to prevent payment shock and prohibit prepayment penalties. The catch is that rate “caps” do not mean monthly costs cannot rise, only that they cannot rise above certain limits. If the thought of bigger payments for principal and interest seems unsettling, then stick with a fixed-rate mortgage – it’s a big-ticket hedge against inflation.
