How Car Payments Affect Mortgage Approval in Ontario

General Lora Fenn 15 May

Want to know what’s driving me nuts right now as a mortgage agent? 😅

Car payments.

I’m seeing:
🚗 $800/month
🚗 $1,000/month
🚗 even $1,200+/month car payments

And people don’t realize how much this impacts mortgage qualification.

Sometimes that car payment is the reason you:
• qualify for less
• can’t refinance
• struggle with monthly cash flow
• or feel financially stretched every month

I’m not saying don’t enjoy your life 🤍

I’m saying:
make sure your car isn’t living better than you are 😭

Your financial goals should come before impressing strangers at red lights.
