Guest post by: Canada Mortgage

Article Overview: For those consumers who are out there shopping for a mortgage loan, they may think that they are limited to going through an official Canadian bank. However, there are only five major banks in Canada, but over 70 lenders, giving people much more of an option than they may have initially realized. This is a secret that the banks prefer to keep. The truth is that these lenders offer mortgages at a far more competitive rate than do the major banks, including Scotia, RBC, TD, CIBC, or BMO. These rates are not available to consumers, unfortunately, but certified mortgage brokers have access to them.

Mortgage Canada Rates – What’s Out There that the Banks are not Telling You?

For those consumers who are out there shopping for a mortgage loan, they may think that they are limited to going through an official Canadian bank. However, there are only five major banks in Canada, but over 70 lenders, giving people much more of an option than they may have initially realized. This is a secret that the banks prefer to keep. The truth is that these lenders offer mortgages at a far more competitive rate than do the major banks, including Scotia, RBC, TD, CIBC, or BMO. These rates are not available to consumers, unfortunately, but certified mortgage brokers have access to them. Canadian brokers are able to access and research mortgage rates through a number of sources, allowing them to shop for competitive rates, products, and services with only one touch of a button. For a client who is looking for the best mortgage rate to do this research alone, it could take up to a year to visit all 70 lenders and figure out what the best services are. A mortgage broker can do this in a matter of hours with their online access to this information, saving a great deal of time, effort, and money.

At a bank, there are maybe 5 or 6 different products and rates, such as variable rate mortgages, open mortgages, closed mortgages, fix rates, new to Canada programs, No income mortgages and much more. Each of the 70 lenders has 10-15 products to keep them competitive towards the major banks, but not all rates and products will fit every client. So, how can you find the right mortgage product and rate for yourself without going through 700-1000 different mortgage products provided by over 70 lenders? That's what mortgage brokers do as a profession, they skim through such complexity for their clients. Thus, it would make it really difficult for a client to distinguish the difference between all 70 lenders mortgage products and rates to figure the right mortgage. As a mortgage broker, we do this on a daily basis, and the software's which are within our capabilities it makes the search for the right product seamless for our clients. Therefore, our clients will get the best mortgage product and rate out there, to fit their financial life style.

If you go to a bank in Canada, they will most likely tell you that private mortgage lenders only work with consumers who have bad credit because the banks won't touch them, and then correspondingly charge them extremely high fees. This is incorrect, as private mortgage lending services actually work with all types of clients, and in fact usually don't even charge them for services. The banks are charged instead, while the brokers get to service the clients rather than the banks. This may be why the larger banks perpetuate the myths.

Providing all of these services to customers with bad or good credit alike means that Canadian mortgage services are able to not only help their clients save a great deal of money, but that they are also able to receive future referrals for their services. This makes it a win-win situation, both for the broker and the client. There is a whole world of lending opportunities outside of the costly mortgage rates available through the official Canadian banking system. One only has to meet with a private mortgage broker to discover what options are available for them.

Re: Invest in Real Estate or Stocks? Re: Invest in Real Estate or Stocks? - I would say real estate. I've recently attended a real estate buyer's workshop (which are available in many many cities!- Look in Craigslist or major real estate company events) because my partner and I are thinking of investing in a income property. I am not so sure about the U.S now, but in Canada the value of real estate is rising- depending on locations of course. On top of that, Canadian Banks are offering excellent interest rates. With the way the economy has been, one can say that trust in stocks has diminished a lot..
Accessing the Canadian Market Accessing the Canadian Market - Leo, an idea that came to mind is try to align yourself with Hispanic Organizations in Canada.
