Скачать или смотреть Don't Make This Mistake Before Your Mortgage Closes - It’s Either the Car or the House. Choose ONE

Buying a home in Calgary (or anywhere in Canada) and thinking about financing a new car? 🚗🏡 This video breaks down why a car loan can quietly destroy your mortgage approval — even after you’ve been pre-approved.

Here’s the reality: lenders don’t care that you “can afford it” lifestyle-wise. They qualify you based on monthly debt ratios. That means every $100/month in car payments can reduce your mortgage approval by roughly $8,000–$12,000. So a $600 SUV payment can cut your buying power by about $60K–$90K, and a $900 payment can wipe out around $120K in qualification.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ How car loan payments reduce your mortgage qualification
✅ Why the MOST dangerous time to take a car loan is after pre-approval but before closing
✅ How lenders can discover new debt (credit bureau updates, bank statements, lawyer reporting)
✅ Why funding can be pulled days before closing — and what that can trigger (deal collapse, deposit loss, penalties, rate hold expiry, and legal risk)
✅ What to do if you already took the car loan (real recovery options)

Timing Risk (This Is Where Deals Collapse)
If you take a car loan during the mortgage process — especially between approval and closing — lenders often re-check your credit and numbers before finalizing funding/insurer submission. That can lead to a $50K–$100K drop in qualification… or the entire deal falling apart.

If You Already Took the Car Loan (Recovery Options)
Depending on your situation, possible solutions may include:
Returning the vehicle (if you’re within any dealer return/cooling-off window)
Refinancing to a lower payment
Adding a co-signer
Paying down the principal to reduce debt ratios
Switching to a more flexible lender
Delaying the purchase to rebuild qualification strength

Prevention Rule (Simple But Non-Negotiable)
From application to closing: freeze your financial profile.
No new loans, leases, credit increases, furniture financing, car purchases, or co-signing — because your approval depends on stability, not intentions.
