There’s basically two categories of qualification when it comes to part-time income:
- Qualification criteria for part-time income applicants with at least a 2 year tenure of part-time employment, and
- Qualification criteria for part-time income applicants with less than a 2 year tenure of part-time employment
1. Part-Time Income with at least a 2 year tenure of part-time employment
If your part-time wage is guaranteed and does not fluctuate it is 100% eligible for mortgage qualification. The following verification documents are required:
- recent pay stub
- employment letter (stating your hire date, current wage, and a statement addressing your guaranteed hours)
- in some instances, lenders will additionally require the most recent 2 years of one of the following; T4s, or Notice of Assessments
If your part-time employment is casual and the hours fluctuate, the qualifying income is determined by averaging your last two years of declared income. The following verification documents are required:
- recent pay stub, and
- employment letter, and
- the most recent 2 years T4’s or Notice of Assessments (NOA)
- if the income from the most recent T4 or NOA varies from the average of the 2 years by more than 20% you must use the lower of, or get Marko Gelo to use his wordly negotiating skills to seek an exception from the lender to use the 2 year average.
2. Part-Time Income with less than a 2 year tenure of part-time employment
This method is like an enhanced version of the aforementioned strategy. Depending on the current terms of your mortgage and how/when it was initially structured, you could potentially proceed as follows:
- seek out the marketplace for the best possible rate and term,
- reset your mortgage to a 25 year amortization, and
- consolidate existing debt
