What is your credit like?

Having an established credit history is extremembly important when applying for a mortgage. For your credit to be considered established, you should have a minimum of two trade lines (credit cards, loans, or lines of credit) with a minimum limit of $2500, reporting for at least two years. Too much debt can also impact your credit and limit your borrowing options.

Once you get your mortgage, there are several different ways you can repay your loan. Some of the payment options are more beneficial than others, but whatever suits your situation the best is recommended.

There are many types of insurance related to the purchase of a home - let's explore what they are and how to acquire them...

You’ve worked so hard to save up enough money to put towards buying a home, how do you show the lender you have your down payment ready?

Shopping for your home can be an exciting time. It can also be a bit deflating if you find a property that comes so close, but doesn't quite tick all the boxes. That's where the Purchase Plus Improvement Mortgage comes in. This type of mortgage allows homeowners to renovate a newly-purchased or refinanced home and roll the cost of the improvement into the balance of the mortgage. Borrowers can benefit from (lower) interest rates associated with a mortgage while enjoying the simplicity of one payment and the added benefit of avoiding additional debt (via higher interest rate options). How does it work?…

Mortgage brokers have stories to tell, and while we keep your privacy paramount, we do love to talk amongst ourselves about specific mortgage deals we’ve been able to get approved against all obstacles! Mortgages are complicated (despite what some might try to tell you), but as mortgage brokers, we LOVE the challenge of a complicated mortgage application and the thrill we get when we are able to tell our clients that their mortgage is approved, and the thrill of telling our colleagues how smart we are, is almost as good!
