Did you know that you can use Child Tax Credit income?

By
Are you having a hard time finding a house within your pre-approved price range? 

 Did you know that qualified borrowers with good credit can use Child Tax Credit income for qualifying?

Here is a sample scenario:

Husband makes $60k and wife makes $35k a year and they have 2 small children. This would give them a benefit amount of $7862 a year. 

By using the extra income from their Child Tax Benefit, they would qualify for an extra $37,500 in purchase price!

Most lenders will not accept this type of income, however we have several great lenders (with low rates and flexible mortgage terms) who will!

Who is Computershare and why are they registered on title?

By
If you are using a non-bank lender for your mortgage, you may notice that your mortgage has been registered in the name of “Computershare Trust Company of Canada”. This registration does not affect the terms and conditions of your mortgage in any way. Computershare holds no beneficial interest or rights to the mortgage loan. This is merely a third party, custodial arrangement which means that your lender has used Computershare to review the mortgage and provide custodial certification to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC) for their government securities program. Computershare is the largest provider globally of many of the services they offer and the largest corporate trust service provider in Canada. They have successfully provided this custodial service to many Canadian bank and non-bank lenders for many years and they play a very important role in the Government of Canada’s NHA Mortgage-Backed Securities Program. Computershare has served as the exclusive Central Payor and Tr...

What is compounding interest?

By
Compounding interest is when interest is charged on top of itself . For example, most mortgages are compounded semi-annually. That means that every 6 months, interest is calculated at the current balance AND accrued interest to that point. Interest only mortgages are typically compounded monthly however some lenders have started compounding their standard (often variable rate) mortgages this way as well.  The more frequently interest is compounded, the more interest you will pay in the long run.   It is important to know the fine details of your mortgage so be sure to consult a Mortgage Broker for impartial advice! www.christinebuemann.ca

How to Save Thousands On Your Mortgage Renewal

By
What could you do with an extra $15,000? If I were to offer you a cheque for $15,000 or even $2300 in exchange for a few documents would you turn in down because it was easier to simply renew your mortgage at your current lender? There are numerous published reports that confirm that most borrowers simply sign and return their bank's offer letter upon their mortgage renewal. More often than not, the rates they offer you are not the lowest available rates and they are definitely not as low as a Mortgage Broker could get you. If you take it upon yourself, you may very well be able to negotiate a better rate with them but how will you know if it is the best you can get? Here is an example… If your lender is offering you 4.24% for a 5 year fixed on a $250,000 mortgage* you would be paying roughly $15,600 more in interest than the standard 2.89% that most brokers are offering for the same term.    Now let’s say you negotiated with your lender and they were willing to drop you...
