The client was pre-approved for an investment purchase for $2.1 million, 3 months ago.
Post-Budget, his capacity had dropped to $1.84M with the same lender.

Property was passed in - he was the highest bidder - bought it for $150k less than the vendor bid.
If you’re planning a move, get your numbers re-run now - and change your lender if need be.
