In other words, whichever ratio will give the buyer the highest qualifying loan amount. For this unrestricted loan amount, the calculator will display the letters “UNR” (for unrestricted) in the display and the word “INC” or “DEBT” to indi- cate what ratio side this loan amount was based from (e.g., income or debt).
1st & 2nd Trust Deeds (Combo Loan) Keys The Combo Loan keys show the savings of obtaining a 1st and 2nd trust deed (TD) loan over a single, fixed-rate loan where mortgage insurance, or private mortgage insurance (MI), is required.
