When shopping for a home it’s important to determine the maximum mortgage and the home price you can qualify for. To determine your maximum affordability, lenders take several factors into account, including:

• How much cash or liquid assets you have.
• Whether a monetary gift is part of your down payment.
• What your gross family income is.
• If you have any other debts.

In the past, we required the following to commence a file:

• Signed Application
• Photo ID
• Preliminary form of income validation (paystub if salaried or previous year NOA if self-employed)

The minimum amount you'll need for your down payment depends on the purchase price of the home you'd like to buy.

• If your home purchase price is $500,000 or less, the minimum down payment required is 5% of your purchase prices.
• If your home purchase price is between $500,000 to $999,999, you are required to have 5% of the first $500,000 of the purchase price plus 10% for the portion of the purchase price above $500,000 for your down payment.
• If your home purchase price is over $1 million, you are required to have 20% of the purchase price of the down payment.

If your down payment is less than 20% of the price of your home, you’ll need to purchase mortgage loan insurance.

Requirements are variable In some cases. For instance, if you are self-employed or have a poor credit history, you may require a larger down payment or to have mortgage loan insurance even with over 20% of the purchase price for your down payment.
