Self-Employed Mortgages in Alberta

What Is a Self-Employed Mortgage?

For self-employed professionals, traditional income verification methods can make securing a mortgage challenging. A Self-Employed Mortgage is designed to address these challenges by offering more flexible income documentation requirements.

Whether you’re a freelancer, a small business owner, or a contractor in Alberta, I’ll help you access the financing you need to achieve your homeownership goals.

Why Choose a Self-Employed Mortgage?

1. Flexible Income Verification
   ‍Instead of relying solely on T4 slips, you can use Business Financial Statements, Personal/Business Tax Returns, and Bank Statements that show consistent income.
2. Tailored Solutions for Self-Employed Borrowers
   ‍This program is designed specifically for individuals with non-traditional income streams, offering more options than a conventional mortgage.
3. Support for Urban and Rural Buyers
   ‍Whether you’re purchasing a home in Edmonton, a condo in Calgary, or a rural property in Alberta, I’ll ensure your mortgage fits your needs.

Who Qualifies for a Self-Employed Mortgage?

This program is ideal for:

• Entrepreneurs and small business owners.
• Freelancers or gig workers with non-traditional income streams.

What Stated Income Means for Self-Employed Borrowers

If you're self-employed, your tax return rarely shows your real earning power. You write off expenses, so your net income looks lower than what you actually take home. Banks read that line and stop. I work with lenders who look at your bank statements, your business, and the full picture, not just line 15000. That's the difference between a no and a yes.

Common objections I solve: not enough T4 income, less than two years in business, income that swings month to month, and recently incorporated owners. Send me your situation and I'll tell you straight whether it works.
