Why mortgage is more than just rates!

Example 1 - Tenants in Common

Example 3 - Bona Fide Sales Clause

Example 1 - Tenants in Common

I received an application with three owners on the property title. Unfortunately one of the owners had a bruised credit background. It is true that the other two owners can proceed to apply for a mortgage with a consent by the 3rd owner. Nevertheless, only select banks and lenders would accept this type of application.  

Example 2 - Collateral Charge

Example 3 - Bona Fide Sales Clause

Example 1 - Tenants in Common

This story happened at a retail branch of a major Canadian bank. A mortgage specialist added a 100% collateral clause to a $800k mortgage at 65% LTV, yet didn't disclose to the applicant.  Guess what happened when the mortgagor applied for a second mortgage a couple of years later.

Example 3 - Bona Fide Sales Clause

Example 3 - Bona Fide Sales Clause

Example 3 - Bona Fide Sales Clause

This clause applies to some non-prime mortgages. It prevents a borrower from paying off their mortgage early or breaking before the term ends.  Unfortunately many mortgagors are not informed prior to mortgage closing. Certainly a huge disappointment!


That's why a well-educated & experienced finance & mortgage expert is critical guiding you through. Don't settle for less!
