If we reduce his payment to $800, he won’t even be able to afford it anyway so what’s the point in reducing it? Before, he thought he could pay $1,200 a month. He can’t even pay the $800 a month that’s he’s asking for today. He's not making enough money, based on our ratios, to be able to afford it.”

So you’ve got to make sure your income and your budget is in that middle range. Look at your recent income history.
Maybe you can pull the most recent month. If it shows the right numbers use it. Or, pull from a longer period. Use the last three months or the last six months worth of income. Maybe even use
You want to be able to demonstrate that you're making enough money to afford that payment, but not making so much money that they will charge you more.
