The money you receive from your Pension is considered passive income. You are probably also receiving SSI. Take your SSI monthly income and multiply that by 125%.

Add that to your pension income. That is your total income plus what else you may be receiving. With your new housing payment (PITIA) plus your current debt should not exceed 45% of your income for qualification purposes.

Wfamilyman,

It depends on your income and debts, to include your new mortgage payment (PITI, principal interest taxes insurance), you soon will not be able to exceed a 45% DTI (debt to income).

So if your income is 5000/mo, your current debts total $1000= .20%.  Now add it a payment of PITI in an amount of say $1200, your DTI is 44%.  Depending on the rate you get will depend on your payment.  So a $200,000 mortgage at 5%, would be $1073, plus taxes/insurance.  As long as it doesn't exceed the $1200, you are set.
