The 'No Income' Verification mortgage is perfect for those who cannot verify income with traditional documentation such as pay stubs, T4s, or Personal Notices of Assessment tax statements. This type of mortgage is also referred to as a No Doc Loan or Low Doc Loan. It is an excellent choice for people who are self-employed, paid primarily through commissions / contract income, or just don't want the hassles of verifying income. The No Income Verification mortgage can be used to purchase a home or refinance an existing mortgage. Qualifying is typically based upon the income that is declared by the applicant.

Usually an equity position of 90% loan to value (LTV) - same as 10% down payment , is the minimum with 75% LTV, or 25% Equity as the preferred situation by most Lenders. The better / higher the equity situation, the more aggressively we can negotiate with alternative Lenders to consider credit or employment situations that they wouldn't normally take into consideration.

There are two echelons of No Income Verification loans :

1) People with Strong Credit:

High LTV (Loan to value)

Up to 90% of the purchase price or 85% of the market price on a refinance.

Almost very best rates offered

Require evidence of business for self (self employment)

These loans are available to customers with very good credit (minimum credit scores of 680 - see our section of Credit Reports ) and strong assets and are made on the assumption that someone with good credit and assets won't risk their credit and assets by applying for a loan they don't think they can manage.

If your situation is different than described above, there are other programs available at slightly higher rates. Call Canada Hometrust to discuss your options: Toll free across Canada
