Contractors and company owners in Vaughan can qualify on T1 income, corporate earnings, contracts, and business bank statements.

MKG Mortgages lines those records up with a lender that accepts that verification, including files from Concord and trades working across Woodbridge.

How can a self-employed borrower qualify?

MKG matches the documents you have filed to a program that can use them. CMHC can gross up verified income or add back deductions the program allows. Sagen and Canada Guaranty stated-income programs still keep line 15000 and the bank statements.

  • Match notices of assessment, T1 Generals, financial statements, and business bank statements to an A-lender or alternative business-for-self program.
  • Use a two-year average of reported income, or the most recent year, when that is how the chosen lender reads the file.
  • Add back business expenses a lender's guideline allows, such as depreciation, when the statements support it.
  • Use rental income, a co-signer, or a short private or second mortgage as a bridge back to a prime mortgage.

What does a self-employed example use?

Illustrated T1 line 15000: $68,000. The financial statements show $24,000 of depreciation and $18,000 paid to the owner as a one-time equipment reimbursement that was expensed. One lender may add back depreciation and ignore the reimbursement. Another may use only the $68,000.

These are the kinds of self-employed mortgages files we structure in Vaughan.

Illustrative example

Sole proprietor contractor

The challenge. The business deposits were healthy, and the taxable income on the return was lower because of ordinary write-offs.

How MKG structured it. We built a business-for-self file with an alternative lender, added back the expenses that lender allows, and supported it with two years of notices of assessment and business bank statements.

Illustrative example

Incorporated owner paid by dividends

The challenge. A salary letter did not show the dividends the owner actually took from the company.

How MKG structured it. We used two years of T1 Generals, the corporate financials, and the dividend record. An A-lender program that accepts salary plus dividends was the fit.

Illustrative example

Commissioned salesperson

The challenge. Commission landed in uneven months, so a single pay period did not describe the year.

How MKG structured it. We averaged two years of commission income from the T1 and notices of assessment, and attached the year-to-date commission statement and deposit history.

Illustrative example

Gig and rideshare driver

The challenge. Income arrived as many small platform deposits, with no employer letter.

How MKG structured it. We documented the work with notices of assessment and business bank statements that show the platform deposits, then placed it with an alternative lender that reads those records.

Illustrative example

New business under two years

The challenge. There was one full tax year, plus contracts and a strong year-to-date.

How MKG structured it. We used the filed year, the contracts, and business bank statements with an alternative lender. Where a prime file needed more history, a co-signer or a short private mortgage bridged back to prime.

Illustrative example

Newcomer starting a business

The challenge. Canadian credit was short, and the company was new, while the down payment was already saved.

How MKG structured it. We traced the down payment, used the business bank statements and the job or contract on file, and structured the purchase with a newcomer program and a co-signer where that strengthened it.

The program follows the documents you have filed and the statements that support them.

Which neighbourhoods come up in Vaughan?

Concord is full of owner-operated yards and warehouses, so the business and the home are often separate addresses. Woodbridge, Maple, and Vellore are where the house purchase or refinance usually sits. Kleinburg and Thornhill files tend to be larger balances, which makes the income calculation less forgiving.

What do people ask about Self-Employed Mortgages in Vaughan?

People ask how self-employed mortgages works on a Vaughan property, and what documents come first. The short answers below stay on this page. The lender still decides, and the office is in North York. The lender still decides. Any example figure is illustrative.

Which documents does a Vaughan contractor actually need?

Two years of personal tax returns and notices of assessment, business financials if you have a corporation, and a recent set of contracts or invoices. Business bank statements fill in months the tax return cannot.

Is a letter from my accountant enough on its own?

No. A letter can explain a figure. Lenders still want the returns or the statements behind it. Alternative verification is a different set of documents, not a thinner one.

Can I buy in Vellore if the company is in Concord?

Yes. The business location and the house are separate. The lender cares that the income is documented and that the house fits the mortgage.

What if last year was weak and this year is strong?

Bring both years and the year-to-date statements. Some lenders average. Some will look at the recent trend if the statements support it. We do not hide the weak year.

Do incorporated and sole-prop files take the same path?

No. A sole proprietor is mostly the T1. A corporation adds the T2, dividends, and salary. We ask which one you are before we list the documents.
