Do you look for three times their net or gross income? I have someone I really like that is close but his child-support pushes him under the 3x rule.

think about it. there can be other payments that push someone out of the range that they don't tell you about. A credit card that they routinely charge up etc. If it is that close to call the guy listed his child support and that goes to his credit. Look at the rest of the application and decide.
