We’ll make everything seamless, stress-free, and smart.
There are several valuable programs available for first-time home buyers, and in many cases, you can still qualify even if you’ve owned a home before.
Available first-time buyer programs include:
• Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP)
• First Home Savings Account (FHSA)
• First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC)
• GST New Housing Rebate for First-Time Buyers (when applicable)
How re-qualifying works:
You’re considered a first-time home buyer again if you haven’t lived in a home you owned or a home your spouse or partner owned during the current year or the previous four calendar years. It’s based on where you lived, not what you owned, so you may still qualify even if you’ve owned a rental property.
If you’ve gone through a separation and have lived apart for at least 90 days, you can re-qualify immediately, as long as you’re not living in a home owned by your former spouse or partner.

Refinancing:
Replacing your current mortgage with a new one. Often done to access equity, lower payments, change rate types, or consolidate debt.
Renewing:
When your mortgage term ends, you choose a new rate and a new term. The balance stays the same, and it’s your opportunity to shop around for a better deal.

When your bank says no
B-Lending (Alternative Lending):
For clients with non-traditional income like Uber/ride-share earnings, tips, cash income, self-employed write-offs, higher debt ratios, bruised credit, new jobs, or non-resident status.
Private Lending:
For fast closings, unverifiable income, unique properties, low credit, borrowed down payments, bridge needs, or when bank options are exhausted.
A bank decline doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Alternative and private lenders look at your equity, goals and full situation — not just strict bank rules.

Not sure how your income fits? We’ll craft a mortgage that moves with the way you work.

Buying a rental or investment property is all about strategy. The financing needs to be structured properly from the start. Lenders look closely at rental income, expenses, property type and your overall financial picture. With the right approach, you can maximize borrowing power, manage cash flow and set yourself up for strong long-term returns. I’ll work out the best options for you.
