*Note: The Maximum Qualifying Loan Amount is the “restricted”
loan amount the buyer may qualify for. This loan amount is
based on whichever of the two ratios — income or debt — limits
the buyer the most. The Unrestricted Qualifying Loan Amount,
however, is the
higher
loan amount. This loan amount is based
on whichever of the two ratios — income or debt — limits the
buyer the least. In other words, whichever ratio will give the
buyer the highest qualifying loan amount. For this unrestricted
loan amount, the calculator will display the letters “UNR” (for
unrestricted) in the display and the word “INC” or “DEBT” to indi-
cate what ratio side this loan amount was based from
(e.g., income or debt).
This restricted/unrestricted qualifying loan comparison is useful to
show clients what size loan they could qualify for if they paid off
debt or increased income.

allowable monthly debt

qualifying ratios and the second press calculates the
buyer's actual ratios.
