    Lenders want to see stable and sufficient income. Make sure your income documentation is thorough and up to date. This includes T4s, recent pay stubs, and bank statements. If you’re self-employed, be prepared to show several years of tax returns and possibly a letter from your accountant. Stability in your employment can significantly boost your approval chances.

    I haven’t used MLI Select but I hear they are changing the rules again! Make sure one of your exit strategies is that you’re able to hold the property without MLI Select.

    Thanks for sharing your insights! It’s true that tenant-landlord dynamics can vary quite a bit from one province or state to another. Having a solid vetting process in place and being patient when selecting tenants can indeed make a positive difference in your rental experience. While some regions may be more landlord-friendly, it’s essential to stay informed about the local laws and regulations to avoid any potential pitfalls. If anyone has experienced cons in landlord-friendly provinces or states, please do share your experiences and tips.
