Four gates, in the order lenders apply them.

Income type comes first. 10 of 12 lenders serving Newfoundland and Labrador accept any income type, including benefit income such as Income Support. The rest require employment or self-employment. This field decides more applications than credit score does.

Income floor is absolute. Most lenders publish a minimum monthly income, most commonly $1,200 per month. Below a lender's floor, nothing else compensates.

Credit is more flexible than expected. 8 of 12 lenders serving Newfoundland and Labrador approve applicants below a 560 credit score. A decline is one lender's threshold, not the market's.
