Review the rules and regulations that lenders require you to meet to qualify for a mortgage.
Downpayment:
-
The amount of money that the purchaser is required to pay towards the purchase price of the home
-
Downpayment may be gifted from a family member
-
If not gifted purchaser must prove the Downpayment is from their own sources
-
If a family member is willing to co-sign on the mortgage they may provide the downpayment.
-
Typically minimum Downpayment is 5% (as calculated in the Table)
-
Zero 0$ Downpayment purchases are still available if the buyer has a Very Good Credit Rating
-
The Interest rate and the payment amount is higher with a Zero down purchase
Credit Score:
Lenders, such as and credit card companies and banks, use credit scores to evaluate the potential risk posed by lending money to consumers and to mitigate losses. Lenders use credit scores to determine who qualifies for a loan, at what interest rate, and what credit limits.
-
As defined by Wikipedia: A credit score is a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the credit worthiness of that person. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information typically sourced from credit bureaus.
-
A mortgage broker will be able to pull your Credit Report and will be able to interpret for you, to help you determine how much you will be able to borrow form the bank
-
The Credit bureaus will be able to also give you a copy of your credit report some will charge for it, buy by law them must show it to you once a year for free see www.Transunion.ca or www.equifax.ca
Current Income:
The Lenders will allow you to use up to 32% of your current monthly income to purchase a home
Existing Debit:
The Lenders will allow you to use up to 40% of your income including your existing debit
Length at existing employment:
The lender is looking to make sure you have stable employment
Possession date:
The possession time may be as short as 2 weeks on a vacant property or longer, it is negotiable with the seller when we submit an offer
Zero Downpayment:
Keep in mind with a good credit score you may be able to purchase with no money down. Note the Interest rate will be higher, because the mortgage payment must recapture the 5% Downpayment that is required on any CMHC purchase
