All mortgage products are base on income and debt to income ratios. Hope this helps.
The easy answer: yes. Income from various reliable sources is one factor in the process of securing a mortgage; however, all lenders will also consider your debts (including student loans) when determining if they will give you an offer letter - your "Golden Ticket" to view homes with an experienced agent. The agent of your choice would then show you homes that you like within your budget. *I don't work for Affordable Housing Resources.
