Can I get a mortgage in Cold Lake if I'm self-employed and write off a lot?
Yes. Brokers work with lenders who assess self-employed income differently — using gross revenue, bank statements, or stated-income programs designed for business owners.
Do I need two years of business financials?
It helps, but it isn't always required. Some lenders work with newer business owners, especially with a solid down payment. A broker matches you to the right one.
Will I pay a higher rate as a self-employed borrower?
Not necessarily. Many self-employed clients qualify for standard A-lender rates. Where they don't, a broker finds the most competitive alternative.
