💡 What is Alternative Lending & Why Does It Matter?
When the big 5 banks say no, alternative mortgage lenders can say yes! 🏡✨
Alternative lending means borrowing from non-traditional lenders like credit unions, mortgage finance companies, and B-lenders. It’s designed for clients who don’t fit the “standard mortgage box.
✅ Perfect if you’re self-employed
✅ Have bruised credit
✅ Don’t show enough income on paper
✅ Are newly employed
✅ Or recovering from bankruptcy
🔑 Key Differences:
Traditional Banks: strict income/credit rules, lower rates
Alternative Lenders: flexible approval, slightly higher interest rates
⚖️ Pros: Easier approval, helps you get into the market, short-term bridge (1–2 years)
⚠️ Cons: Higher rates, setup fees, larger down payment
