Uses a 36% back-end ratio for conventional, 43% for FHA and 41% for USDA, which is where the math usually begins. A strong file can go higher; that is decided on a call with a real file open. Tax is assumed at a rough county proxy; Chester County bills from 1996 assessed values, so the actual bill on a given house can sit well above or below it. USDA eligibility is drawn address by address on USDA's own map and can change one street over, so run the address there; the lender confirms the answer before you write an offer.
A realistic price for you
USDA also caps household income by county and only lends on an eligible address, so check the map before you fall for the house. First-time buyers under the county's income limits can apply for Chester County's 0% program of up to $40,000.
The number a lender would actually stand behind
Takes a short call and a look at the real file. A licensed Pennsylvania lender calls you back, usually the same business day.
