Student loans not in repayment or in deferral included in a mortgage loan application as an expense?
Apply for a loan, but two years school loans already on my credit report, but not enter into a repayment and the second delayed. However, the loan is requested for all expenses listed on my credit report. These loans are not included in my reimbursement expense ratio?

Yes, because it is a bill that is owed, even if you are not currently paying it.
I bought a house a few years ago and was still in school. They took an estimate of when I would start having to repay the loans, at the time it was about 2 years from the start of the mortgage. So, no they did not add it in to my current expense ration. I would say if the loans will be due in the current future, less than a year, then they would.
Student loans that are deferred…need to be deferred for 3yrs in order to take it out of the expense ratio.
If not, I WOULD HIGHLY recommend that you find the original contract of the student loan. OTHERWISE, the underwriter will use his own calculations of what you will pay…which is USUALLY higher than you will normally pay.
I am not sure why you are not repaying it, but it is still due before your mortgage will be, which is usually in 30 years.
Ana they are included in your overall financial picture and debt ratio’s.
