What is a down payment?
Part of the purchase price of a property that is paid in cash and not financed with a mortgage.
Why is an appraisal necessary?
Every conventional mortgage that includes a minimum 20% down payment requires an appraisal because the mortgage is uninsured. The lender wants to see that your purchase price is in line with the property’s fair market value. Lenders want to see that you are purchasing a quality property and that they will be able to recuperate the full amount if you default on the loan.

My bank declined me. Can I still get a mortgage?
It’s possible. After we analyze your own situation we’ll discuss what possibilities are available to you. However, lenders that deal with non-standard credit usually charge a higher rate than normal bank approved credit.
Why is a mortgage insurance premium necessary?
Regardless of mortgage rates, if a down payment is less than 20% of the home or property value, mortgage insurance is mandatory in Kelowna (and across Canada). Mortgages have built-in insurance premiums, so, therefore, the clients do not pay “out of pocket” for this expense. For mortgage lenders, a down payment of this size is more of a risk, so the mortgage insurance premium acts like a guarantee in the event of a default on the loan.
What does a Mortgage Broker do?

Basically a Mortgage Broker offers advice, options and choice. .They take care of the legwork of searching for the best mortgage product and interest rate by utilizing their network of lenders and financial institutions.
