Calculated vs. Actual Payments: Mortgage lenders typically assess your ability to repay by using a standardized, calculated student loan payment rather than your potentially low or zero-dollar payment from an income-driven plan.

FHA loans are stricter, often requiring lenders to use 0.5% of your total loan balance as the monthly payment.
