Self Employed

This Managing Business 102 - Self Employed Program focuses on our "stated income" type mortgages and products.  The self-employed entrepreneur benefits from minimizing their tax burden while at the same time the flexibility for alternative income sources – not all of which are acceptable with the changing underwriting landscape. This module addresses how to effectively communicate and position the different mortgage options when not always the best rate is available!

This program focuses on effective communication with your self-employed clients and how to easily explain their options for financing using "stated income" scenarios based on their challenges such as:

  • low taxable and/or verifiable income due to write-offs
  • short self employment tenure
  • income fluctuations
  • any of the above, plus poor credit.


The program focuses on two types of financing transaction:

  1. Purchase of a principal home or cottage (refer to Expert Series for Rental Properties) that are purchasing a principal home (or cottage) and require a “Stated Income” single mortgage using either of the following based on their down payment:
    • 10% or more down payment and meet Default Insurer Guidelines with the higher insurance premiums and low rates, or
    • 15% or more down payment with Equity Lenders that have a higher interest rate and also a lender fee that can or cannot be added to the mortgage
  2. Refinance of a principal home or cottage (refer to Expert Series for Rental Properties) that are refinancing a principal home (or cottage) and require a “Stated Income” single mortgage with 15% or more down payment with Equity Lenders that have a higher interest rate and also a lender fee that can or cannot be added to the mortgage

If your borrower requires a 1st and 2nd mortgage combination then refer to our Second Mortgages Program in the Managing Business 102 Series
