There are many bank products available for the self employed, some of our most popular mortgage loan options including stated income or low doc mortgages. In general, these programs require different down payments & /or home equities.
Income Verified (income gross up)
In some cases, you can qualify with as little as 10% down (20% on refinance). But keep in mind that income checking is required for most types of mortgage programs, personal loans or credit cards.
Alternative Lending
Other lenders require a 35% down payment for related programs, as in the case of stated income mortgages (although we do have options for higher LTV). There are also B-Lenders that allow self employed home owners and buyers to qualify under higher debt servicing.
If you already have a mortgage with a bank or credit union, refinancing might be the only additional offer they might have for you. But there may be other banking products to save you money.
Many banks don’t usually provide second loan options to customers interested in blending a new mortgage. We also work with banks which offer loans of up to 65% of the home’s value. Lenders do require these properties to be in their approved areas of interest, and income and credit requirements do apply.
As for those looking for non traditional bank products in BC, we also provide private mortgage lending up to 75%. These types of private second mortgages do not require income or credit to qualify you. Rather your home’s equity is the largest financial factor in approving these types of home equity loans.
HELOC currently come at prime + rates, and borrowers can qualify for up to 65% LTV of their homes’ value. Most major banks & credit unions offer mortgage products for HELOC. Currently HELOC requires good credit & verified income ratios.
Home Equity Loans differ from HELOCs due to them being a pure equity product. That’s why, Home Equity Loans are easier approved compared to other banking products, regardless of income or credit score. Lenders can lend up to 75% of the home’s value in major centres.
Rental properties are a great way to invest in your future by using real estate. Qualifying for these types of bank products follows some criterias:
- Mortgage Options for Purchasing Rental Properties
- Do you need to use a rental offset?
- What is the minimum down payment? 5% or 20% (we have options based on both, conditions apply)
- Lower Beacon Score options
- Rental properties in Personal Name
- A-Lenders & B-Lenders Rental Units
- 2-4 Units or Options Above
This type of mortgage financing option takes two properties as security. Inter Alia mortgages allows lenders to secure against two properties allowing additional security, while offering short term bridging. Conditions do apply.
Refinancing a mortgage or obtaining a HELOC, or a 2nd mortgage to consolidate consumer debt, is a great way to free up cash flow and improve your credit. Banks & credit unions in BC have a bunch of different loan, investment, and insurance products that can assist homeowners. But if you don’t qualify for traditional bank products, don’t worry. Alternative mortgage lenders have some creative mortgage options you can choose among.
Mortgage financing on investment properties, industrial business, retail space, developments, warehouses, apartment buildings, multi family units and office buildings.
