WHAT LENDERS LOOK AT FOR QUALIFICATION?
-
Down payment.
-
Employment.
-
The property itself (purchase price value has to be supported and the lender has to be satisfied with overall condition of the property).
-
Your credit score along with credit history. Lenders normally require a minimum credit score of 600.
​
Lenders rely on two standard measures of one's "ability to pay" their mortgage:
-
Gross Debt Service (GDS)
-
Total Debt Service (TDS)
​
GDS is the percentage of your gross income that is required to cover housing costs.
These costs include the following items:
-
Mortgage payment
-
Property tax payment
-
Heating expenses
-
Strata fees (if applicable)
​
TDS is the percentage of your gross income that is required to cover housing costs, plus any additional debt you have.
These costs include the following items:
-
Mortgage payment
-
Property tax payment
-
Heating expenses
-
Strata fees (if applicable)
-
All other debt (ie credit cards, car loans, car leases, lines of credit, mortgage payments, property taxes and strata fees (if applicable) for any additional properties owned.
​
The maximum GDS & TDS allowed is based on your credit score as per below:
-
Beacon (credit score) is less than 680 Maximum GDS is 35% / Maximum TDS is 42%
-
Beacon (credit score) is 680 or higher Maximum GDS is 39% / Maximum TDS is 44%
​
If your down payment is 20% or greater, certain lenders may consider a slightly higher Gds/Tds on exception based on your overall application (ie credit and net worth).
