We understand how difficult it is to get home mortgages as a self-employed individual, and we get the frustration that comes with it. After all, you may have a better income than employed people, and your small business may be thriving. But you still get those words when you try to apply for a loan and those two little words hold you down and make it very hard for you to improve your lifestyle and get what you want.

But, nevertheless, it is possible to get self-employed mortgages, and we are here to make sure of it. You will need to provide proof of income to secure a mortgage as a self-employed individual, including a two-year average of Line 150 on your tax return. You will need to have an excellent credit history, ideally without any payment delays and significant debts. There is also other paperwork involved regarding your business, and you will need to be able to provide a down payment of at least 10%.

Kelowna Mortgage Brokers FAQ Icon

Applying for a mortgage shouldn’t be hard or confusing,
let’s break this down and make it simple for you!

Should I consider a mortgage to help with debt?

Yes. In fact, this is a common use of a mortgage loan. Many of our customers obtain a mortgage to consolidate credit card debt, renovate their kitchen, or invest.

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.

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.
