What are the 6 Major Factors that Lenders Use to Qualify you for a Mortgage Loan
- 1 Your income and your employment history
- 2 Your debts
- 3 The size of your down payment
- 4 Your credit history
- 5 The property’s value
- 6 Your proof of identity
Your Income and Employment History
Your Income plays a major role on the mortgage approval. You don’t need to be wealthy to qualify for a mortgage, however, the lender needs to know how much of your total income will be spent on housing to decide your affordability. Lenders are more likely to lend money to those who have steady employment. Any part time income, commission, self employee income, business income can be considered as an income. Self employed/ commission/ business income requires 2 year history. There are some exceptions, talk to our team if you have questions.
Your Debts
Lender considers how much of your total income will be spent on debt owing. They calculate your Growth Debt Service and (GDS) and Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio to determine what you can comfortability afford.
The Debts are including any car loan (Finance or lease), Line of credit, Credit card, Mortgage amount, Student loan, Card charge, Child Support that you may pay monthly payments to plus any loan you’re signed as a guarantor or co-signer.

Your Credit History
The credit history is one of the important factors of qualifying for mortgage. Lender will determine mortgage approval base on good credit score and credit report.
Credit score is a number that signals your financial health at a specific time. It also gives information about your financial past, and how consistently you pay off your bills and debts. Lender like to see at least 2 items reporting to your credit bureau, to determine your mortgage approvability. If you don’t have it, they look at any bill payments or rent payments to see your debt responsibility.
Credit score number is between 400 to 900. Also, Credit score of over 680 consider as a good credit.
Your Credit report is a detailed summary of your credit history, employment history and personal financial information, including your phone number, address etc. You can get your credit report through one of Canada’s credit-reporting agencies, Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. by creating online account to their portal, you can easily order the report and receive it by mail. If you see any error contact them and ask them to fix it.
Start to build your credit score as soon as possible and then use it responsibly, manage your credit well, pay off your bills on time or at least pay the minimum payment. Don’t use your credit if you can not pay it back on time. Don’t spend over limit in your credit cards, keep your balance up to 30% of your limit, keep at least 2 active credit cards and don’t apply for more credit cards or loans than you can comfortably manage.
Value of the Property
Lenders want to ensure that the home you want to buy is worth the price you plan to pay. They will request a professional appraisal to appraise the home value. It is very important to have it for your protection as well.
If you stop making mortgage payments, the lender has the right to sell your home to pay off the loan (a process called ‘foreclosure’). The home’s value is the lender’s best assurance that they can recover the money with selling the home in the event of stop making mortgage payments for more then 3 months.

Sometimes, homeowners think it makes sense to stay with same lender as it is easier than shopping around for new mortgage and transferring it, but that only makes sense if they have a better rate with existing lender OR if they wont be able to re-qualify with a new lender, in which case it doesn’t make sense for them to transfer the mortgage.
