I think lenders will consider your total debt and your income, not necessarily the amount of your monthly payment or the portion of the monthly payment that you have agreed to pay.

Debt-to-Income (DTI) is literally the ratio of total monthly payments (credit bureaus have the payment amounts) over your monthly gross income. https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-debt-to-income-ratio-en-1791/

This would be the whole mortgage payment as both OP and brother are equally liable for the $1,000 payment.
