REAITOR DOWN PAYMENT AFFECTS LOAN The size o f the down pay ment can directly affect the buyer’s borrowing power. Ifthe loan is being made by a bank that will sell the mortgage on the secondary market to Fan nie Mae and Freddie Mac, the borrower who puts 20 percent down will usually be allowed to devote up to 28 percent of gross, pre-tax, monthly income toward housing expenses. Bor rowers with 10 percent down can usually put just 25 percent o f gross income toward hous ing expenses. Buyers who can ’t meet these debt ratios have some options. First, they can seek out a bank that will keep its loan on its books instead o f selling it to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Their rate may be slightly higher, but they have a little more leeway in their debt ratios. Also, buyers who can’t meet the standard debt ratios may be attracted to an adjust able rate mortgage. Its lower introductory rate may make it easier to qualify for a loan or allow the borrower to get a big ger loan and nicer home.
