Buy a property despite a mortgage refusal<\/h2>\n
Here are 4 solutions proposed by our broker to buy your property despite a mortgage\u00a0refusal.<\/p>\n
Go through an alternative or private lender<\/h3>\n
A first option to consider if your mortgage\u00a0loan application is denied is to go through an alternative lender or private lender.<\/p>\n
Alternative or private lenders are a good alternative if you have not been successful in obtaining a mortgage through the traditional route. These types of lenders are primarily for borrowers who do not meet the ideal requirements for a traditional loan, such as having a good credit history.<\/p>\n
There are two alternatives when your mortgage has been declined.<\/p>\n
1- Alternative Lender\u00a0<\/strong>: Home Trust, Equitable Bank, Haventree Bank, these offer mortgage financing options with 20% down payment\u00a0for a house<\/a>,\u00a0duplex, or triplex occupancy<\/a>\u00a0or 25% down payment for\u00a0a condo purchase<\/a>.<\/p>\n Their interest\u00a0rates are typically 1.5 to 2.5% higher than traditional banks, but it is possible to qualify and amortize the loan over 30, or 35 years, with a different calculation of qualifying income.<\/p>\n 2- Private lenders<\/strong>: They allow you to get approved for a loan with a down payment between 25 and 35%. Their interest\u00a0rates are often 4 to 8% higher than traditional banks, this type of option is usually chosen for a short period of time allowing access to property and to pay only the\u00a0interest\u00a0on the loan (and not\u00a0capital\u00a0+ interest).<\/p>\n It should be noted that our brokers will always evaluate with you the exit options as well as their deadlines in order to allow you to\u00a0eventually\u00a0return to a “classic” mortgage financing.<\/p>\n The application fee for these lenders (alternative and private) is between 1 and 3%.<\/p>\n By choosing this method, you are opting for patience, but also for the wisest solution in the long\u00a0run! Improving your\u00a0credit rating\u00a0to obtain a\u00a0mortgage\u00a0takes time, patience and a good strategy.<\/p>\n We therefore advise you to :<\/p>\n Another solution is to bring a larger down payment than that required for your\u00a0mortgage. This will reassure the bank that you will be applying for a smaller loan amount and avoid a\u00a0mortgage\u00a0rejection.<\/p>\n When your current\u00a0mortgage\u00a0expires, you are required to renew the outstanding amount of your\u00a0mortgage\u00a0for another\u00a0term.<\/p>\n The advantage of staying with your current lender for\u00a0renewal\u00a0is that you don’t have to go through qualification again. So, as long as you have made all the mortgage payments, paid your city and school taxes, during the period, you have no fear of being denied\u00a0refinancing.<\/p>\n However, even if you escape re-qualification, your current lender will still evaluate your financial situation, including your credit score.<\/p>\n A new lender is more likely to tell you that your\u00a0mortgage\u00a0will not be\u00a0renewed. By going through a new lender, you will also have to go through a mortgage qualification again. This means that your financial situation, income and whether you meet the credit requirements will be rechecked by this new lender. This new lender may then deny your\u00a0mortgage refinance<\/a>\u00a0on the grounds that you have missed payments or that your credit score is too low. It is therefore often better to stay with your current lender when the situation is not in your favor.<\/p>\n You will have to take into account the costs incurred by the new lender in the event of a change.<\/p>\n Our brokers can assist you in this process.<\/p>\n \u200dIf you have just been turned down by a new lender<\/strong>, we recommend contacting your current lender to see if they will be able to renew your\u00a0mortgage.<\/p>\n \u200dIf you’ve just been turned down by your current lender,<\/strong>\u00a0we advise you to look into alternative options with the help of your\u00a0mortgage broker, such as alternative or private lenders<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although it is rare for the mortgage\u00a0renewal\u00a0process to reach the point of a forced sale of your property (60 day notice), it can happen if your financial situation worsens.<\/p>\n To avoid this, we recommend that you make regular monthly mortgage payments, pay your municipal and school taxes, and monitor your credit score.<\/p>\n \u200d Please feel free to contact our brokers for any advice and additional information\u00a0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here are the reasons why your mortgage application may be declined.<\/p>\n The\u00a0credit rating\u00a0is one of the determining elements for the acceptance of your mortgage application with a bank. Your\u00a0credit rating\u00a0varies according to your credit utilization, your debts and the different credits you have taken out.<\/p>\n If you have a score below 600<\/strong>, your mortgage application may be declined.<\/p>\n If your score is above 750<\/strong>, your mortgage application will have a better chance of being accepted at very attractive rates for you.<\/p>\n Even with a good credit score, the bank is reluctant to grant a\u00a0mortgage\u00a0to a person who does not have a stable job and income. This is a common problem for\u00a0self-employed<\/a>\u00a0people\u00a0to obtain a mortgage<\/a>.<\/p>\n To obtain a\u00a0mortgage, you must be able to demonstrate the existence of a stable income in order to consolidate your ability to repay the amount granted by the lender.<\/p>\n In Canada, as in Quebec, when you want to buy a house, you have to bring a down payment of\u00a05% to 20%<\/strong>\u00a0of the purchase price of the house to get a\u00a0mortgage.<\/p>\n By having the amount for\u00a0<\/strong>the mortgage down payment already in place\u00a0<\/strong>, you reassure the bank of your ability to buy and show that it is not a second loan.<\/p>\n If you don’t have enough\u00a0<\/strong>money for the down payment on the mortgage, the bank may deny your loan for fear that you will take out two loans at the same time, one for the down payment and one for the purchase.<\/p>\n Before starting the search for your future home, our brokers advise you to evaluate your needs as well as the amount according to your capacities.<\/p>\n Banks will turn down mortgage applications if the purchase price of the home is out of your budget and financial capabilities. Don’t live beyond your means!<\/p>\n Banks use ratios based on your income to assess your ability to buy a home and pay a\u00a0mortgage. For example, your home expenses must not exceed 32% of your\u00a0gross income.<\/p>\n In order to avoid any unpleasant surprises, we recommend that you pre-qualify your mortgage before you start looking for a house to find out the maximum amount you can borrow.<\/p>\n Another reason for refusing your mortgage application is if the property you have chosen is well above market price.<\/p>\n The bank may refuse you in this case because if you default, the sale of the property is not enough to pay off your mortgage.<\/p>\n It is therefore important to evaluate your home according to the current real estate market.<\/p>\n We advise you to contact your broker who will be able to assist you in this process.<\/p>\n Depending on the type of property, your\u00a0mortgage\u00a0will be more easily accepted by your bank at various rates.<\/p>\n You are more likely to be approved for a mortgage on a primary residence rather than a secondary residence.<\/p>\n In addition, the purchase of a second home involves higher rates.<\/p>\n This loan can be accompanied by\u00a0mortgage insurance\u00a0to protect your lender from any default on your part. Don’t hesitate to contact our brokers for more information on insurance.<\/p>\n Be aware that the government institutions that deal with taxes are super-priority creditors. Therefore, if you have defaulted on your taxes, you will be turned down by the banks because you have debts that are considered to have priority over your\u00a0mortgage.<\/p>\n We advise you to keep a regular payment of your taxes.<\/p>\n For further information, we invite you to contact our brokers to assist you in these steps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You want to buy a house, condo, land but you have just been refused a mortgage loan?
