Understand your Mortgage Options

General Angela Calla 17 Nov

When it comes to mortgages, there can be a lot to know! Do you go with a fixed-rate mortgage or a variable-rate? What are the terms? What are the penalties? Which is the best payment frequency? With so many questions and so many lender options, it can be hard to find the best solution for you. That is where a DLC Mortgage Professional can help.

Rate is only ONE of the many features in selecting the best mortgage product that meets your financial goals. With access to hundreds of lending institutions, Dominion Lending Centres Mortgage Professionals are familiar with a variety of mortgage products allowing them to help find the best mortgage for YOU! Plus, unlike banks, mortgage agents are a third-party service focused on YOUR needs. This means that you can get the best rates and unbiased advice all for FREE from someone whose only goal is helping you achieve your dream of home ownership.

Have your paperwork in order.

When you apply for a mortgage you will typically need to provide a standard package of documents, which almost always includes:

  • Your government-issued personal identification
  • One month of recent pay stubs from any applicants who will be listed on the loan
  • Letter of employment
  • Your most recent two years’ worth of personal CRA tax filings and financials (if incorporated)
  • Three months of bank account statements
  • Your down payment (minimum 5%)
  • Documentation to explain any unusual (generally non-payroll) large deposits or withdrawals
