Mortgage qualification is the process where a lender evaluates an investor's income, credit score, debt ratios, and financial assets to determine their eligibility for a mortgage and the maximum loan amount they can receive. For Canadian real estate investors, this includes passing the federal stress test at a qualifying rate typically 2% above the contract rate, which directly impacts purchasing power and investment strategy.
