Usha and Parker should not take another debt to their current situation because their debt to income ratio (DIR) has exceeded the Basic Qualified Mortgage DIR for the common benchmark. The qualified mortgage debt to income ratio is 43% and Usha and Parker debt to income ratio is 47.9%. Debt to income ratio is calculated by dividing total personal debt with net income.
