Insured Owner-Occupied Rental Properties (2 - 4 units):

ING DIRECT will generally follow Genworth's revised guidelines except for applications where a mortgage is already insured by CMHC. Under the new guidelines, taxes and heat will no longer be included in the TDSR and only 50% of gross rent can be added to the gross annual income.
