Need advice- 807 & 793 credit, 51% DTI, VA loan

Inquiring for my parents

 

My mom has a 807 credit score; my dad a 793.  Their debt is:

 

$250/month car payment (less than 8 payments left- the mortgage guy said to pay 2 more payments, it was 10 payments until payoff)

$490/month mortgage for rental house (rent=$600; never claimed on their taxes; they didn't realize they had to because it was a "wash", therefore mortgage is assessed as debt)

$500/month Discover card (they charge it during the month and pay it off the following month, every month)

 

Income:

 

$1104 social security (dad)

$304 social security (mom)

$45,000 annual salary

 

BofA said no-- too high DTI

 

Went to a mortgage broker who put it through the VA pre-approval process and got an approval.  Said debt to income was 51% but the recommendations were to "ignore the ratios, lend on credit score".

 

All the paperwork is in, waiting for a VA appraisal.

 

Purchase price of home including VA funding fee (used for the second time): $243K

 

The mortgage guy says he really doesn't see an issue and is 95% sure it will go through.

 

What are the experts opinions here?

 

We were exploring another option to get that DTI down: selling that other house at a $10K loss to one of those "we pay cash for houses" places.  Would that help this? 

 

Any insight, help, advice, etc. would be welcomed!

 

They want this house very badly-- nothing else out there like this one!

 

TIA!

I would love those taxes. Here in Nj we are looking at houses in the $250,000 range and taxes are at or above $10,000. One house we really like is $250,000. and has $11860. taxes. It is crazy.
