Popular Mortgage FAQs
What’s the difference between getting pre-qualified and pre-approved?
Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on basic financial information, while pre-approval involves reviewing documents, credit, and confirming borrowing power with a lender. A pre-approval can also help lock in an interest rate for a limited time (45-120 days depending).
Can a mortgage broker help if I’m self-employed?
Yes. Mortgage brokers can work with lenders that offer flexible income qualification options for self-employed borrowers, business owners, freelancers, and contractors. Alternative documentation such as bank statements, retained earnings, or stated income programs may help support your application.
Can I break my mortgage early if I need to move?
Most mortgages can be broken before the end of the term, although penalties may apply. Depending on your lender, you may also have options like porting your mortgage to a new property to reduce costs.
Do mortgage brokers only work with major banks?
No. I have access to over 55 banks, credit unions, monoline lenders, and alternative lending solutions. This wider network provides you with more flexibility depending on your goals and financial situation.
How long does the mortgage approval process usually take?
Approval timelines vary, but many applications can receive an initial response within 48 hours once all required documents have been submitted. Keep in mind, lenders are closed on weekends, so that’s 48 hours between Monday to Friday.
Can I get a mortgage with less-than-perfect credit?
Yes. Some lenders specialize in helping borrowers with bruised credit, past collections, consumer proposals, or limited credit history. The right solution depends on your overall financial picture and future plans.
Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage rate?
Both options have advantages. Fixed rates provide payment stability, while variable rates can offer flexibility and potential savings depending on market conditions and risk tolerance.
Can I use money from family for my down payment?
Yes. Many lenders allow gifted down payments from immediate family members, provided proper documentation is supplied confirming the funds do not need to be repaid.
What costs should I budget for besides the down payment?
Buyers should prepare for closing costs such as legal fees, land transfer tax, appraisal fees, home inspection costs, and adjustments related to property taxes or utilities.
First time homebuyers may benefit from a rebate up to $4,000 for land transfer costs, offering significant savings.
Can I refinance my mortgage before renewal?
Yes. Homeowners can refinance during their mortgage term to consolidate debt, access equity, renovate, or improve cash flow, though penalties may apply depending on the mortgage type and amount of term left in the contract. Consult your mortgage broker before considering this strategy.
What documents are usually required for a mortgage application?
Most lenders request proof of income, employment verification, identification, recent bank statements, and information about assets, liabilities, and the property being purchased or refinanced.
Is it possible to buy a home with only 5% down?
Yes. Qualified buyers purchasing an owner-occupied property may be able to buy with as little as 5% down, subject to mortgage insurance requirements and lender approval.
Can i purchase a home with 5% down more than once?
Yes. Buyers are not limited to the number of times they can purchase with 5% of the purchase price. Every purchase with less than 20% down payment will be subject to mortgage insurance and lender approval.
Can I pay off my mortgage faster without penalties?
Many lenders offer prepayment privileges, often shown as 15/15 or 20/20, which allow you to increase payments or make lump-sum contributions each year to reduce interest costs and shorten your amortization.
Check with your mortgage broker to see if your mortgage product has prepayment options.
Why work with a mortgage broker instead of going directly to one lender?
A mortgage broker compares multiple lending options on your behalf, helping you evaluate rates, terms, flexibility, and qualification guidelines to find a mortgage solution that fits your needs.
