15 Years Helping Self-Employed Canadians Get Approved

Being self-employed isn’t a walk in the park when it comes to securing a mortgage. However, that’s where my services come in as an Ottawa Mortgage Broker with 15 years of real-world experience. It’s time to see that the grass really is greener on the other side, and that there is a pathway to preapproval. With my insights and mind in addition to your dedication, we can find a solution that works for you easily.

Let’s work together on revealing your options, the best rates, and the ideal approach to securing your self-employed mortgage here in Canada.

Understand What You Need in Advance

By painting the clearest possible picture, I’ll be able to guide you more efficiently along the road to success. My goal is to help you understand exactly what you need, how soon you need it, and why it matters. Self-employed individuals seeking a mortgage often need to jump through more hoops to secure preapproval, comprised of the following steps:

  • Securing financial statements from your business confirming your earnings
  • Evidence of all taxes being paid annually
  • Proof of continued profitability (contracts for future work, etc.)
  • Credit scores for your personal line of credit as well as that of your business
  • Evidence that you have saved your minimum 10 percent down payment and not given it
  • Proof that you own the business Notices of Assessment in addition to copies of relevant licenses

Still with me? Don’t worry, I know it’s a lot to digest. I can help you make sense of every required element to ensure you get approved sooner and with no headaches. One process at a time, we’ll get there.
