What does a mortgage broker in Kelowna do?

Can self-employed people get a mortgage in BC?

Yes. Self-employed Canadians in BC can qualify for mortgages through stated income programs, bank statement mortgages, and Alt-A lenders.

How much does it cost to use a mortgage broker in BC?

What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a bank?
