Lender Criterias for Salary

Long Tran
Posted

When looking at income, how much do lenders consider gross vs. net pay? 

My take-home pay is significantly lower than my gross pay due to my large contributions towards 403(b), Traditional IRA and HSA. If lenders do factor in take-home pay, would it be advised to scale back on contributions for a couple of months in order to get approved for a larger amount?
