Self Employed Mortgage Options

More then ever, Canadians are opting to work for themselves or work contract jobs with their existing companies rather than receive a yearly salary. There are many advantages to being self-employed, such as the ability to write-off many personal expenses. The downside to this is that it can often be challenging to get a mortgage through the big banks because they typically will not evaluate self-employed individuals with a common sense lending approach, instead, they focus on your income on line 150.

Citadel Mortgages understands this market well, and we offer our self-employed mortgage solution program to cater to the need’s of our self-employed clients, so be assured we have a self-employed mortgage solution for you!

How Stricter Lending Rules Affect Self-Employed Canadians

In addition to reducing the amortization period and raising the minimum down payment required to purchase a home, in 2014, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) discontinued mortgages for those who are self-employed without third-party validation. Before that, self-employed Canadians and contractors only had to state their income. But not anymore.

This made the homeownership dream for hundreds of thousands of Canadians more difficult. That’s because 2.76 million Canadians are self-employed; a whopping 15% of the country. Moreover, more and more Canadians step into the ranks of the self-employed every year.

Unfortunately, big banks don’t help entrepreneurs and view them as risky. Because you are a self-employed entrepreneur and might draw a smaller income for tax purposes, the banks think there’s a higher chance that you’ll default on your mortgage.

At Citadel Mortgages, we pride ourselves in being experts when it comes to arranging self-employed mortgages because we are self-employed just like you. If you are a Self-employed, we have a mortgage solution for you.
