PURCHASE PLUS IMPROVEMENT
Unlock Your Home's Potential with Purchase Plus Improvement (PPI)
If you're buying a home that needs immediate upgrades, the Purchase Plus Improvements (PPI) program lets you include the improvement costs in your mortgage. It's an excellent choice for primary residences or if you're looking to convert a single-family home into a legal duplex. This program is widely offered by most mortgage brokers. Here are the key details:
- A contractor quote will be required at the time the application is submitted to the mortgage lender.
- Maximum of $60,000 in upgrades (amount may be higher upon exception).
- Upgrades cannot include appliances.
- You must fund the upgrades yourself; however, you will be refunded after completion, usually within 120 days of your closing date. An appraiser will confirm that the work has been completed as indicated in the contractor's quote.
- If you put down 10%, you would receive back 90% of the upgrade cost, up to $60,000.

REVERSE MORTGAGE
Take Advantage of Home Equity for Financial Freedom!
If you're 55 or older, own a property with equity, but your income isn't meeting your needs, a reverse mortgage could be the solution. This option allows you to stay in your home while accessing tax-free equity in monthly or quarterly installments, or as a lump sum withdrawal, without making any payments until you sell your home. Lenders' Choice Mortgages is here to assist you through the process and determine if a reverse mortgage aligns with your financial goals.
CONSOLIDATE DEBT
Use Your Home Equity to Reduce High-Interest Debt
Many Canadians are taking advantage of refinancing some of the equity in their mortgage to reduce higher interest-rate mortgage debt. One important part of a financing strategy is knowing "good debt" from "bad debt." A well-planned mortgage can help you turn those bad mortgage debts into good debts and get them out of the way. Benefits include:
- Consolidating high-interest rate credit cards into a single, lower-rate
- Saving money and improving cash flow
- Reducing stress by gaining control over your financial situation

MORTGAGE PORTABILITY
Benefits of Mortgage Portability
If you're considering a move, understanding the advantages of mortgage portability is essential. Starting with a conversation with a mortgage broker can provide valuable insights. As you prepare to take this significant step, expert advice can set you on the right path. By working with a mortgage advisor who has access to multiple lenders, you can secure the best rates and mortgage options to make your dream home a reality.
RENEWING YOUR MORTGAGE
Let Us Help You Renew Your Mortgage Into a Better-fit
If your mortgage renewal is fast approaching, then you’ll soon be at an important financial milestone. Now's a great time to look at the many innovative options and competitive rates available. Lenders send out renewal forms just before renewal dates to those with good payment histories, with about 70% of homeowners sending them back without asking any questions. In today’s hectic world, that can be the easiest and best route, but you should ask yourself some questions before you sign on the dotted line. This could be an important moment of opportunity.
This is the time to evaluate and decide. For instance, you might consider consolidating high-interest debt with your mortgage or leveraging some of your home equity for a renovation project. Maybe you're contemplating a cottage or vacation property. Are you confident you're getting the best rate at mortgage renewal?
BRUISED CREDIT
Bad Credit Rating Making You Feel Humiliated? We Have Options!
Sometimes, things get out of control, and life happens. We see all kinds of credit ratings every day, and we have the strategies to help improve and even heal damaged credit. You may be surprised to know that you can still obtain a mortgage. Whether you've had a bankruptcy or your credit is only slightly bruised, you can obtain financing.
As mortgage professionals, we have access to non-traditional mortgage lenders who offer financing solutions to individuals who have some credit challenges that cannot be addressed by the major financial institutions. Together we can quickly assess your situation and decide on the best way to move forward. The worst you can do is nothing.
RENOVATION FINANCING
Sometimes, the House of Your Dreams Is the One You're Already Living In
Maybe your home just needs some new landscaping, an extra wing for your growing family, an expanded kitchen, or a swimming pool in the backyard! A record number of Canadians have taken advantage of the historic low mortgage rates and rising real estate values and have tapped into their home equity through equity take-outs. There's never been a better time to access the extra funds that can help bring your home to that next level of comfort. Consider accessing the cash you need for the renovations and improvements you've been dreaming about!
