Comparison: Similar Attributes Side-by-Side<\/h2>\n

Comparison: DTI is often confused with similar attributes. This page compares dti to its closest relatives: what they share, what they don’t, and when to use each.<\/p>\n

The 3 Closest Relatives<\/h3>\n

3 ratios are commonly confused with DTI. The recon cutoff tool’s per-ratio-confusion-flag identifies each case.<\/p>\n

Relative 1: LTV (Loan-to-Value).<\/strong> LTV measures loan vs property value, not debt vs income. The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-vs-ltv-flag identifies the case.<\/p>\n

Relative 2: PTI (Payment-to-Income).<\/strong> PTI measures housing payment vs income, similar to DTI front-end. The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-vs-pti-flag identifies the case.<\/p>\n

Relative 3: DSR (Debt Service Ratio).<\/strong> DSR is the international version of DTI. The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-vs-dsr-flag identifies the case.<\/p>\n

3 Common Mistakes<\/h2>\n

Mistake 1: Confusing dti with similar attributes.<\/strong> The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-debt-to-income-confusion-flag identifies this.<\/p>\n

Mistake 2: Ignoring the edge cases.<\/strong> A common failure mode bookkeepers report is the dti edge case causing a denial. The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-debt-to-income-edge-case-flag identifies this.<\/p>\n

Mistake 3: Using generic examples instead of real values.<\/strong> The recon cutoff tool’s per-dti-debt-to-income-real-example-flag validates the values.<\/p>\n

A common failure mode bookkeepers report is confusing dti with similar attributes. The fix: verify the attribute is correct before processing.<\/p>\n
