Knowing how your application will be evaluated will better equip you to evaluate your financial strengths and weaknesses. Having all your documentation ready will make the approval process much quicker and easier. Lenders look at six key factors when evaluating an application – your identity, your income, debts, employment history, credit history, and the value of the property. Your Identity In order to protect against mortgage fraud, the lender or their lawyer will require picture identification to ensure you are the individual you represent yourself to be. In addition, you may be asked questions regarding your credit history to verify information on record at the credit bureaus. Your Income The lender will measure your income level against the amount of the mortgage payments, property taxes and condo feeds, to decide whether you can comfortably afford a home. Your lender will compare your current housing expenses to the expense you’ll have if you buy a home. The smaller the increase, the stronger your application looks. Usually a guideline of 30% of your pre-tax income is used to determine your maximum payment level. Your Debts The lender will look at your debts, including your anticipated house payment, as well as all loans, credit cards, child support and any other payments that you make each month. The ratio of the payments on these debts to your gross monthly income results in a total debt service ratio. The generally accepted total ‘debt service ratio’ for all housing and other obligations is 40% of your pre-tax income.

Some purchasers may also obtain a property inspection to confirm the property’s condition and identify any items that may require repairs. Lenders also tend to evaluate your application against the following guidelines: • A housing expense ratio no greater than 32% (the lower the ratio, the better) • A debt-to-income ratio for all debts no greater than 40% (the lower the ratio, the better) • The home buyer has steady income - ideally, the same job for two years or longer • The home buyer has good credit (bills have been paid on time) • The house is worth the price the buyer is paying Article provided by Genworth Financial Canada

Does applying for a mortgage seem too complicated? Knowing how your application will be evaluated will better equip you to evaluate your financial strengths and weaknesses. Having all your documentation ready will make the approval process much quicker and easier. Lenders look at six key factors when evaluating an application – your identity, your income, debts, employment history, credit history, and the value of the property.

When a landlord sells a home, there can be conflicts with the tenant. Knowing the rules can help avoid trouble.
When a landlord puts a home or condo up for sale it can often lead to conflicts with tenants. The landlord, naturally wants to show as many people through the property as possible, while the tenants may be annoyed with the inconvenience. Each party has rights and it pays to know what they are.
Here are the basic rules:• Landlords can sell their home at any time.• If the tenant has a lease, they cannot be evicted before the end of their term.• If the lease is over, it automatically becomes a monthly tenancy. The
tenant must be given 60 days’ notice to vacate, provided that a buyer has already unconditionally agreed to buy the home.
• Tenants must allow buyers to look at the unit, as long as there is 24 hours’ advance written notice and the showing takes place between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Pets have to be kept out of the way and while tenants can be there during showings, they don’t have to be.
Some tenants believe the landlord cannot show the home if they still have a lease. Wrong. On the other hand, a buyer must still respect the terms of the lease. But when the lease expires, the new owner can provide a 60 days’ notice based on the fact they need the home for themselves or their family.
If a tenant refuses to let buyers in to see the unit after being given proper notice, the landlord can start eviction proceedings. The landlord could also potentially claim damages if the tenant’s actions prevent the landlord from selling the home in a timely manner.
Landlords cannot trick tenants into leaving either, pretending to move in so the tenant vacates and then immediately fixing the place up and selling it. The tenant can sue if this occurs. This can include a claim for the tenant’s moving costs and higher rent paid elsewhere. The Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board may also add additional fines for breaking the law.If you are planning to sell your home, my advice is to approach your tenant first and work out a plan that accommodates everyone. That way the tenant can protect their valuables and keep pets out of the way and the landlord can let buyers see the home on a timely basis. As an example, only agree to showings from 4 to 6 pm each day.Some landlords help their tenants find another place to live before putting the home up for sale. This is also an excellent solution. It takes away the stress of eviction and the landlord then gets to later fix up their home and make it more presentable to a wider range of potential buyers.When landlords and tenants understand the rules and co-operate when a home is being sold, everyone wins.

The Manchisi Team knowing all this came up with the
(NC) Move over kitchens and bathrooms, homeowners are focusing on a new part of the home: the garage. No longer just a place to park the car and lawn equipment, today’s garages are getting bigger and better. Here are a few quick and easy projects to create a useful and organized garage.
Make a grand entrance. While your garage may be a mess inside, begin your update with a good exterior impression. Adding a coat of paint to the main garage doors can make a dramatic update. And don’t stop there. Jazz up metal side-entrance doors with a more vibrant shade. Rust Protector spray paint from Krylon is an excellent choice to provide superior metal protection – and it dries in just eight minutes to let you carry on with the rest of your projects.
Empty and organize. Now that your garage islooking great from the outside, it’s time to tackle the inside. Start by pulling everything out into the driveway, organizing the contents into groups: lawn and garden; tools and hardware; toys, games and bikes; and for items you no longer want or need – garage sale. While the space is empty, give it a good cleaning from top to bottom.
Create a workstation. No matter what your hobbies or interests, you’ll likely need a space to do work. Assess how much room you can allocate and then create a station to accomplish tasks easily. Old metal tool cabinets are an excellent way to create an inexpensive DIY workbench. First, thoroughly clean the surfaces and then spray paint with Krylon Rust Protector in your favorite colour to not only make it look great, but keep the metal surface protected from rust. Next, mount a work surface to the top. Now you’ll have a designated work area – with all your necessary tools within arm’s reach. Plus, add a few bar stools and it can double as an entertainment station as well!
Keep hardware handy. While tool cabinets keep tools neatly stored away, there are some readily
used tools that you want to keep in plain sight.For these items, hang a pegboard on the wall above your new workstation and equip it with a variety of hooks and bins. To take your organization a step further, spray paint outlines of each tool to show where they go. Finally, there will be no excuse to not put the screwdriver away!
Let there be light. If your garage is like most, it has a single incandescent bulb hanging from the ceiling… definitely not emitting enough light to do any work. Luckily, lighting up your space can be simple and inexpensive with a fluorescent light fixture. Available in a variety of lengths, these fixtures can easily be installed by hanging from chains mounted into the ceiling and simply plugging into a power source – no need for electrical wiring.
Create smart shelving. When your work area is complete, it’s time to find a place for the other items. Shelving is always a great option – but can be expensive to purchase. A more affordable option is to recycle cabinets or shelves that you already have in your home. Have an old microwave cart, plastic shelves or even old kitchen cabinets left from a remodel? They are the perfect home for garden equipment or kids toys. Clean the surfaces and then paint them to achieve a finished look. Think you can’t paint plastic? Think again. Krylon’s new Dual Superbond spray paint features a proprietary formula that offers a high-adhesion, specialty primer that ensures top performance even on hard-to-paint surfaces such as plastics, laminates and melamine, as well as other commonly painted surfaces.
With a bit of organization and effort, you can transform your garage from cluttered to classy in no time at all. For more information on project ideas, visit www.krylon.ca
