Do you think it'll make a big difference?

My thinking is she should just tell the broker so she can get a bigger qualification, it's not like CRA and the bank share that type of information.

What do you think she should do?
My bank (TD) only takes into account 50% of the rental income and I assume other banks do the same so $600/mo works out to only an additional $3600 in annual income which is a pretty small amount when it comes to mortgage qualification.
