Find the right mortgage that fits your business income.
We have the lending answers for you, and the better rates to go with it.
You declare your earnings in a different way than typical mortgage applications, so naturally, your mortgage requirements are a bit different.
At Flash Financial Mortgages, our expert brokers can offer you lending options that don’t require traditional third-party validation of income. This type of mortgage typically requires a minimum of 35% down — however, it can be done for as little as 10% down through our business for self program.
Plus, we pass along our volume discount, for a rate advantage that makes good business sense. A few minutes with us could save you thousands, and our super smooth process will save you time and stress.
Don’t just take our word for it, our clients have the last (positive) word on our unbeatable service, giving us the most 5-star reviews in the B.C. mortgage industry.
