Why do Self Employed Mortgage Applicants Warrant Special Consideration

Self employed mortgage applicants often have a difficult time getting approved for a mortgage. Although they might be earning enough money to service a mortgage, the banks want proof of income. Self employed applicants cannot always prove income adequately to satisfy the bank, either because they get paid for jobs in cash, or because they are showing maximum expenses in order to minimize the amount of tax they need to pay.

What's worse is that many businesses are seasonal in nature and more than salaried employees, self employed people often NEED flexible financing to survive during the slow season. 

If you are starting a new business venture and want to purchase or refinance your home, good luck getting approved at the bank. 

Another reason self employed people need flexible financing - you might have an opportunity that requires access to cash, for example, cheap inventory becomes available you could stock up and sell later at a considerable profit. 

If you have equity in your home and need fast, flexible financing, call me at 416 876 2031.

A Mortgage Broker Should Offer More Than Just Money

This morning I spoke with a small real estate developer who has a problem. He is knee deep into a great project that won't break ground until the spring and he is short on cash. The bank won't lend him money because he hasn't reported income in two years. His income comes in fits and starts, like a flood when he is harvesting a project, but in the farming stages, there's no income.

He has considerable equity on the land he owns and on his principle residence. He was really confused and he didn't know what to do. He thought maybe he needed to get his construction financing in order quickly. I helped him to realize that it was premature to get the construction financing in place, and it wouldn't help solve his immediate problem anyways, which was cash flow. 

What he needed was a small second mortgage on one of his properties to relieve his cash flow problem, stay current with his day to day obligations, and give him the winter to organize his construction and long term financing plans. 

He was grateful. 

Some days we get so busy searching for loans opportunities and negotiating deals we forget, its not just about the money. It's really about the people who need the money.

When you're in dire circumstances, a mortgage broker can make or break you. Give a guy bad advice when he's in a pinch and you'll sink him. Give him good advice, and before you know it, he's back on track. 

Mortgage brokers should do more than just broker loans. A good one will help you come up with a strategy to get you the cash you need, when you need it, at the right price. 

For mortgage solutions, call me.

I was recently interviewed on MortgageBrokerNews.ca. They asked me why a mortgage broker would want to leave one brokerage to join another. Click on the image below to watch the video!

Find the best mortgage broker

Finding a mortgage broker is not hard. There are about as many mortgage brokers as there are real estate agents, insurance agents or investment advisers  Reality is they are a dime a dozen.

Finding the best mortgage broker, or even a just a mortgage broker who is well suited to service your particular mortgage loan requirements is another story.

Why are there so many mortgage brokers, or mortgage agents around? The reason is that there are few barriers to entry. Unlike law school or medical school, where you have to go to school for many years, practically anyone can become a mortgage broker or agent. The educational requirements are minimal – you need to take just a one week course – and the cost is low. If you have an extra week on your hands and a thousand dollars - that’s how much you’ll need to pay for the course, licensing and insurance - then Bob’s your Uncle, as they say.

As a result of the low entry barriers, there are many, many people signing up to become mortgage brokers or agents. There is no apprenticeship or internship period required either, which means you have a lot of licensed brokers and agents running around with little or no training.

The competition is for business is fierce, not only from other mortgage brokers, but also from banks, who have very deep pockets.  As a result of all the competition, it can take a long time for a mortgage broker or agent to gain a lot of experience, unless they are excellent marketers or have some great referral sources.  This makes it difficult to even find a good mortgage broker, let alone the best mortgage broker.

So how do you find the best mortgage broker?

You must shop around! Talk to a number of different mortgage brokers. Get referrals from people you trust and get educated! You might need to talk to four or five mortgage brokers before you find the best mortgage broker because you need to learn.  Depending on the type of mortgage you are trying to secure, some mortgage brokers will try and get a large retainer from you – be careful! Do not give anyone anything until you are fully convinced the broker can do the job for you. Learn something about the rules of the game, ask a lot of questions and find someone you feel has your best interests at heart!

If you have excellent credit and provable income, the best place to get a mortgage is still the bank.  However, banks are very picky about the people they want to lend money to. If your credit isn’t perfect, or your self employed and you arent reporting income that is commensurate with your station, you many even be a very high networth individual and have trouble getting a loan from the bank.
