What this means if you're buying in Toronto East
Market conditions shape the negotiation; your income, debts and the stress test decide what you can actually borrow. If a property has an existing basement apartment, the single most valuable question to ask before you write is whether it is legal and registered — because lenders differ enormously on unregistered suites, and the ones that will use the income at all will often use less of it. Beyond that, how a lender applies the rent matters as much as how much they use: adding it to your income is far less powerful than subtracting it from the payment, and not every lender offers the second approach. On an east-end purchase with a suite, that single choice can swing your approval by a very large amount.
