A 5 % Minimum Down Payment is required to insure a mortgage with CMHC.
The maximum Gross and Total Debt Service Ratios (GDSR and TDSR) are 32% and 40% respectively. As such, the
calculation assumes the total of all non shelter financial obligations will not exceed $ 1,404, or
an additional 8% of the required household income. The mortgage insurance fee is based on a single
loan advance. The GDSR considers only 1/2 of the input condo fees for underwriting
purposes. Property taxes are gross amounts, but can be re-input, net of grants or subsidies, where appropriate.
The minimum loan term is set at six months. The greater of the current three year posted mortgage rate or the actual contract rate may be used to qualify the borrower. Borrowers are required to demonstrate, at the time of application, their ability to cover closing costs equal to at least $ 1,500, or 1.5% of the $ 100,000 purchase price.
The Household Income Required of $ 17,553 is the minimum amount of Gross Income to qualify for a total
mortgage of $ 91,800 under generally accepted underwriting guidelines (see GDSR and TDSR above).
