Thinking Outside the Box: Custom Mortgage Solutions to Fit Your Unique Needs
When it comes to mortgages, many people assume they have to fit into a standard mold—20% down, fixed or variable rates, and a 25-year amortization. But the truth is, your mortgage should work for you, not the other way around. Whether you’re self-employed, have unique income sources, or are looking to make a strategic investment, there are custom mortgage solutions designed to help you achieve your goals in ways you may not have considered.
As a mortgage agent, I specialize in thinking outside the box to create personalized solutions that go beyond the typical “one-size-fits-all” approach. Let’s explore some creative mortgage options that could help you get into the home of your dreams—or make your current home work harder for you.
1. The Self-Employed Mortgage: Showcasing Your True Financial Picture
Traditional lenders often rely on tax returns and T4s to assess income, which can be a challenge for business owners or freelancers with fluctuating earnings. Fortunately, alternative lenders and specialized mortgage products allow you to qualify based on bank statements, contracts, or projected income. These custom solutions provide flexibility while allowing you to keep your tax-efficient strategies intact.
Thinking about buying or refinancing but worried about your self-employed income? Let’s talk about your custom solutions.
2. Equity-Based Mortgages: When Your Assets Speak Louder Than Income
If you have significant assets but limited income—whether due to retirement, business reinvestment, or other reasons—an equity-based mortgage might be the perfect fit. These solutions focus on the value of your property rather than your monthly earnings, giving you access to financing without the stress of proving income.
If you’re asset-rich but cash-flow light, I can help you tap into your home’s value.
3. Rental Income Solutions: Unlock your Home’s Potential
Thinking of purchasing an investment property or using rental income to qualify for a bigger home? Custom mortgage products allow you to leverage potential rental income to boost your borrowing power, even if the property isn’t currently tenanted. There are also flexible financing options available for short-term rentals like Airbnb.
Your next property could be easier to finance than you think—let’s explore your options!
4. Credit-Challenged Mortgages: Rebuilding While Owning
Life happens—whether it’s past financial struggles, a divorce, or unexpected medical expenses, your credit score shouldn’t hold you back from homeownership. Custom mortgage solutions from alternative lenders focus on your potential and future financial plans rather than just your credit history. With the right strategy, you can secure financing now and work towards improving your credit over time.
If your credit isn’t perfect, don’t worry—let’s find a solution that works for you.
5. Purchase + Improvement Mortgages: Turn Your Dream Home Into Reality
Imagine finding the perfect home in the perfect location—but it needs a little work to truly make it yours. Instead of waiting years to save up for renovations, what if you could upgrade your home right now? With a Purchase Plus Improvement (PPI) mortgage, you can!
Here’s how it works: A PPI mortgage allows you to finance both your home purchase and the cost of renovations—based on the future value of the property after improvements.
6. Mortgage Switches & Transfers:
When your renewal time comes around, your lender will offer you a new rate based on current market conditions—but here’s the catch: it may not be the best deal available to you.
Many homeowners simply accept their lender’s renewal offer without exploring other options, potentially leaving thousands of dollars on the table. That’s where we come in. Thanks to our strong relationships with dozens of mortgage providers, we can “switch” your mortgage to another lender offering a much better rate and more favorable terms—without the hassle.
