When considering a loan request, lenders use different ratios to determine creditworthiness for a borrower. Even though commercial real estate financing relies heavily on the property’s net operating income to underwrite the loan, borrowers are viewed as a secondary source of repayment for the loan in case anything should interrupt the cash flow from the property. Besides examining a borrower’s credit history, net worth, and liquid assets, a lender will also consider the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.
The debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is the ratio between a borrower’s monthly obligations, such as credit card debt, automobile loans, and real estate loans, and the monthly gross income, including salary, commissions, interest income, and social security benefits. Some lenders also refer to this as the Personal Debt Ratio. In most cases, lenders prefer a ratio of less than 50%, although this of course can depend on the lender and loan program
The debt-to-income ratio can be calculated according to the following:
Monthly Obligations / Gross Income = Debt-to-Income
As explained above, monthly obligations are the payments that a borrower must make every month for both short-term and long-term liabilities. The gross income can encompass every source of income available to a borrower, including net rental income from other investment properties.
While not an important investment concept for agents, the debt-to-income ratio nonetheless can pose a challenge for borrowers seeking financing. When calculating the DTI ratio, most lenders will refer to the two years of tax returns for a borrower in order to determine the average adjusted gross income (AGI) for a borrower. The AGI will take into account personal income, passive income, and net rental income. In addition, lenders will add back depreciation allowances (from Schedule E) and net operating losses (from Schedule C) to arrive at a more accurate understanding of a borrower’s capacity for repayment.
Yes, this is perhaps too much information for you to know right now, but it is an essential part of determining creditworthiness for borrowers seeking financing!

Working with ALB Commercial Capital was a great experience, actually the best loan company I've ever worked with. They made it a very smooth process for me and never rushed me. Leo answered all my questions and was a pleasuure to work with. I recommend them to everyone who's in the multifamily and commercial real estate industry.
My business partner and I were referred to Leo and David for our first commercial real estate transaction. The amount of help and guidance they provided was tremendous and immeasurable! Leo and David walked us through every step and provided exceptional insight along the way. Whenever there was a minor hiccup in the process (not through Leo and David’s doing), they always managed to step up and provide the necessary resources to resolve the issue. My business partner and I are truly grateful for their assistance, and we can’t see ourselves using anyone else in the future.

I wanted to thank you for your help in the re-financing of our commercial property. Your company and specifically you, provided a high level of professionalism, honesty and concern. This was the easiest transaction I have ever completed, not even my own bank provided the quality and quickness of a re-finance. I will recommend you to all I know, and if in the future I need another loan or re-finance, you will be the first person I call. Please feel free to call or email me with any questions and once again, thank you for your terrific service.
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Manjarrez
