Sub-Prime Mortgages in Canada
Why are we so successful at arranging mortgages for our clients even after their banks turn them down?
Here are just a few of the reasons:
- Not all banks use the same qualifying criteria; some banks are simply more conservative,
- A mortgage broker in Canada is a licensed mortgage professional; your loans officer at the bank is not required to be licensed and more often than not is under trained,
- Not all banks carry all the specialty products offered by the insurers; if you require a specialty product you need to work with someone who first off knows about the product and secondly where to find it,
- Our mortgage rates are lower which means you qualify for more house; its simple math,
- Some lenders still use the traditional debt service ratios that have been used for years versus the new much more liberal debt service ratios allowed by the insurers; the difference in mortgage amount is significant,
- Banks don't have sub-prime mortgages in Canada if the insurers turn your deal down; mortgage brokers do,
- Mortgage brokers have a vested interest in you as a client; if we don't find you a great mortgage we don't get paid (a referral fee by the lender); we try harder!
