Why a self-employed file is handled differently in Sherbrooke
Traditional lenders in Sherbrooke 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 Sherbrooke brokers who have closed this kind of file in areas such as Fleurimont, Jacques-Cartier, Mont-Bellevue.
What documents to prepare for a self-employed file
Before the introduction, the Sherbrooke 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 Sherbrooke
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 Sherbrooke (Eastern Townships (Estrie)). 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.
