First Time Buyer - Canadian Immigrant Buyers ::
There are several programs available to the First Time Buyer such as using your RSP for your down payment.
Also available are specific programs for new immigrants. To find out how you
may access these programs you will need to consult one of our mortgage professionals.
High Ratio Mortgages ::
Don't have the usual 25% down payment? Increase your leverage with a high ratio mortgage. You can purchase
a home with as little as 5% down with popular programs offered by GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Canada or the
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and still get the best discounted mortgage rates. With insured mortgages
an insurance premium will be added to the mortgage amount.
No Down Payment ::
We have access to lenders who offer financing with zero down, borrowed down payment or 100% loan to
value programs. Under these programs however, borrowers must meet specific criteria which can be
determined after we have met with you.
Cash Back Mortgages ::
Is that possible? YES. With the cash back mortgage, a client gives up a discount in order to receive a rebate on the mortgage. This rebate varies depending on the financial institution. This money can come in handy especially for the first time buyer who needs extra funds to purchase home improvement items. Why would you consider a cash back option: you may be short on cash, you utilitzed the RRSP Home Buyers Program and now require money for the legal fees and moving expenses, or you received a GIFT and used it as the down payment but would like funds to feel comfortable with taking on the new liability of the mortgage. We will discuss all the why's and why not's of the cash back options with you, so that you are comfortable in understanding these products.

Refinancing or Renewals - Debt Consolidations ::
There are many reasons to refinance, or increase your existing mortgage.
- Consolidate other debt
- Renovations or Home Improvement
- Combine existing mortgages
- Closing a mortgage to transfer to a new lender
Avoid higher rates or an unsuitable product and terms. You may want to renew/switch your mortgage to
another lender if your current lender does not offer a competitive rate. Most lenders now offer “no cost or
low cost switches” which allows you an opportunity to reduce your interest costs. We can help with the
details for you and negotiate with your existing lender or find a new lender with more competitive rates.

Self Employed Mortgages ::
Changes in the Canadian workforce has brought about a large increase in the number of self employed. While
many self empoyed individuals want to take advantage of today's low mortgage rates, the guidelines of some
financial institutions can restrict access to mortgage funding. The good news is that lenders are now offering
mortgage products specifically tailored to the self employed. Mortgage products for the self employed now offer
more flexible repayment methods, and are available through our mortgage broker channel.
Home Equity Line of Credit ::
A home equity line of credit is available to you if you have more equity in your home than your original
down payment. By using your home as equity you may be able to receive more competitive financing
with more flexibility.
