Self‑Employed & Non‑Traditional

Bank statements, stated‑income programs, credit repair, and alternative documentation accepted

  • Stated income considered

  • Flexible LTVs

Equity Mortgages

We qualify based on asset value and exit strategy—not just traditional income documents

  • 1st & 2nd mortgages

  • 12–36 month terms

  • Interest‑only options

Close quickly on purchases, refinance to finish a project, or cover temporary cash‑flow needs

  • Fast closings

Who We Can Help

If any of these sound like you, let's talk.

Basic Guidelines

  • Builder needing progress‑draw construction financing

  • Self‑employed with limited NOAs or recent incorporation

  • Strong equity but credit challenges or recent life events

  • Short timeline—purchase closing or renovation deadlines

  • Unique rural or cottage properties in Muskoka & beyond

Typical ranges—final approval may differ:

  • Loan‑to‑Value (LTV): up to 75–85% (property & location dependent)

  • Terms: 6–24 months

  • Appraisals and legal fees required

Approvals subject to underwriting. Not an offer to lend.
