Don't let it scare you - it's a simple concept that compares how much you owe (for your car loan, credit cards, rent, etc) to how much you make and helps the loan and mortgage industry, and YOU, determine how much you can safely borrow for your next investment.
Why should you care? Because our good friends at Fannie Mae are changing the rules of the game and lowering the DTI requirement for you to be approved for a mortgage, that's why! This article from realtor.org talks in more detail about it.
