Why a self-employed file is handled differently in Laval
Traditional lenders in Laval typically ask for 2 years of notices of assessment and apply net income (after expenses), which understates your real capacity. Several alternative lenders and some B-lenders offer stated-income programs or use adjusted gross income. An AMF-licensed broker knows lender-by-lender policies and compares Laval brokers who have closed this kind of file in areas such as Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, Vimont.
What documents to prepare for a self-employed file
Before the introduction, the Laval broker will typically ask for: 2 years of T1 notices of assessment, 2 years of T2125 (or financial statements if incorporated), the last 6 months of business bank statements, recent client contracts for subcontractor income. Courteo does not collect documents — you submit them directly in the AMF-licensed broker’s secure portal.
Courteo approach for atypical files in Laval
Courteo is not an algorithmic comparator: we set no rate and decide no eligibility. The AMF-licensed mortgage broker reviews your income, credit, down payment — and presents real options available in Laval (Laval). If the file is complex (seasonal income, first incorporated year), they can broaden to a B-lender or a private lender depending on your situation.
