@Justin HerringtonThe inclusion rate used by residential lenders varies as does how they arrive at that rate.A few years ago, I had compiled a spreadsheet capturing how our lenders were approaching rental income, so what I have below is most probably out of date:Lender                 Income inclusion           NotesScotiabank              70%                          Calculated as Income - 30% expense allotmentTD                             ~70%                       Calculated as Income - 5% vacancy,                                                                 - ((500 insurance + 900 utilities + 500 maint.) * #units)                                                                 - 3% management feeCIBC                         ~75 - 80%               Income - 5% vacancy                                                                  - (5% insurance, 5% maint + 5% management)                                                        - property tax (unclear if this was included in the                                                        determination of net income or deducted afterward)  Note: We placed two mortgages with CIBC this year and the inclusion rate was lower (around 65%) ... not sure if this is the new normal or because we are over their magic number of seven mortgages.Property taxes and mortgage payment are deducted from the calculated Net Income to determine the debt coverage ratio from the lender's perspective.It you are insuring the mortgage (say through CMHC) then lenders will use the CMHC guidelines which allow 50% of the gross rental income to be included.
