IMPORTANT NOTE: U.S. versus Canadian Payment and
Qualifying Calculations
It is important to note that U.S. and Canadian payment and pre-qual-
ifying methods differ and are thus reflected in the examples in this
User's Guide. In the U.S., property insurance ("Insurance") and
mortgage insurance* are included with property tax for the calcula-
tion of the "PITI" and total payment, and are also included as factors
affecting Buyer Qualifying. In Canada, Insurance is not included in
the calculation of PITH (i.e., PITH typically adds only the monthly
property tax and heating expense to the P&I payment. Canadian
Qualifying also does not include Insurance.
*In the U.S., mortgage insurance only applies if buyers have a low down payment
(under 20%).
