Do Federal Loans Look at Debt?

Hi Everyone! I’m looking to apply to graduate school in the not-too-distant future and am also looking to buy a Condo. I have a great credit score and am also paying off my undergraduate student loans.

My question is this: If I were to buy a condo (therefore increasing my debt to income ratio) would it impact my ability to secure federal financial aid?

If you are talking about the Direct Loan…I don’t think debt is considered.

But you do want to watch your overall debt…and keep your overall repayments in mind as well.
