Home Purchase Mortgages in BC | Bank, Stated Income, & Private Solutions
Buying a home is exciting, but securing the right financing can be challenging. Whether you're a first-time buyer, self-employed, or have unique financial circumstances, I have a solution for you. As your mortgage broker, I specialize in three main paths to home ownership, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your situation.
Your 3 Path to Home Ownership
1. Regular Bank Mortgage (Best Rates)
Ideal for borrowers with stable income and good credit who meet traditional lending standards.
-
Minimum Down Payment:
-
5% for properties under $500,000.
-
5% on the first $500,000 + 10% on the portion above $500,000 for properties up to $1,500,000.
-
(e.g., On a $800,000 home: 5% of $500k = $25,000 + 10% of $300k = $30,000 → $55,000 total down payment)
-
-
Requirements: Good credit (650+ score), verifiable income (T4s, tax returns, pay stubs), and a manageable debt-to-income ratio.
-
Best For: Employees with a steady paycheck and a strong credit history.

2. Stated Income Mortgage (For Self-Employed & Commission)
A flexible solution for business owners, contractors, and those with commission-based income who have difficulty documenting their full earnings.
-
Minimum Down Payment: 20%
-
No Tax Returns Required: Lenders use your 6-12 months of business bank statements to qualify you, not your tax filings.
-
Credit: Bad credit is often acceptable. The focus is on your down payment and business cash flow.
-
Best For: Self-employed individuals, freelancers, and those with significant write-offs who need a bank-quality mortgage without the traditional paperwork.

3. Private Mortgage (Fast & Flexible)
When time is critical or traditional options aren't available, a private mortgage provides a fast, equity-based financing solution.
-
Minimum Down Payment: 25% (20% considered on exception).
-
No Income Verification: Your ability to get the mortgage is based on the property's value and your equity, not your job or income history.
-
Simple Process: Typically, all we need is a completed application, a credit bureau, and an appraisal.
-
Credit: Any credit situation is accepted (bankruptcies, consumer proposals, etc.), as long as the deal makes sense.
-
Best For: Urgent purchases (to avoid losing a deposit), borrowers with major credit issues, or those with complex financial situations that banks can't accommodate.
