Jill Couture Mortgage Services - Indi Mortgage I work for you, not the banks! Let's chat and see how I can help you get the best financing option. Don’t fall into that trap.

Here is some information that may help you understand a little more of how I help my clients:

I work with Canada’s leading Financial Institutions including Banks, Trust Companies, and Credit Unions. Due to my existing relationship with these lenders, they provide me with exceptional rates, fast turnaround times and flexibility with approvals. When you let me help you to find you the very best mortgage, and negotiate on your behalf, there is no cost to you. The lender pays me a fee for finding and bringing them the business. Remember it saves them from the cost of additional employees in wages, vacations, training cost, office space, and benefits. So, there is no cost to you, and I only earn a fee if I arrange the mortgage for you. The Fee is the same regardless of what lender I choose and it is not built into the rate. Some of our lenders specialize in providing mortgages for clients who are self-employed, contract employees, have seasonal income, have trouble proving income, or lack some of the standard documentation. We have seen all situations and are experienced in getting the unconventional mortgages approved. Many consumers think their bank will automatically give them the best rates because they have been loyal customers for many years, have multiple accounts with them or have high account balances. That kind of thinking has cost many clients thousands of dollars in unnecessary interest. I am a fully licensed mortgage professional and am governed by BCFSA, the BC Financial Services Authority. The safety and security of your personal information is of utmost importance and all discussions, documentation and file management are completely confidential at all times. Often clients make the time consuming mistake of going to multiple lenders themselves attempting to negotiate the best rates. Each time a Financial Institution pulls your credit report, your Beacon score actually drops. Sometimes, the very exercise of trying to find the most competitive mortgage actually disqualifies you from qualifying. We forward your credit report electronically to our lenders so that it isn’t pulled over and over. We can use the same report for up to 90 days! If you, like so many other Canadians, have high interest credit card debt, department store debt, line of credit debt or other outstanding payments, want to purchase your next (or first) investment property, or want to take advantage of your existing equity to make other investments, now might be the ideal time to refinance your existing mortgage and consolidate it all into one simple payment at the lowest rates of all time. This consolidation can sometimes reduce your monthly payments by more than a thousand dollars per month. I would be happy to calculate the saving for your specific situation. I am your trusted mortgage expert and I work for you, not the banks. It’s my job to provide you with timely, expert advice and make certain my clients have the very best mortgage products for their specific situation. Your business is very important to me! Contact me for a complete mortgage review at your convenience. I am never too busy for your referrals and will take amazing care of anyone you think who may find my services valuable. Jill Couture

Your side hustle income can boost your mortgage affordability—but only if lenders recognize it as stable and legitimate. To count, it must be:

✅ Sustainable – Lenders need proof the income will continue long-term.
✅ Declared to the CRA – It must be on your tax returns and bank statements.
✅ Well-Documented – Be ready to provide tax filings and income records.

While extra income may strengthen your application, not all lenders will accept it. Want to maximize your mortgage potential? Let’s chat!

The Bank of Canada announces its next interest rate decision on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.

Whether you're buying, renewing, or watching the market, this one matters.

We'll break down exactly what it means for your mortgage the moment the decision drops. Follow along.

The term of your mortgage is the specific length of time (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years) that your current mortgage agreement, including your interest rate and conditions, is in effect.

It's not the full amortization period, but rather the period until you need to renew or renegotiate your mortgage!

You'll likely need multiple terms to repay your mortgage. If you pay the balance at the end of your term, you don't need to renew your mortgage.

Understanding your term helps you plan for future renewals and potential rate changes. Want to learn more? Let's chat!

I spoke to a new client who is a first time buyer (FTHB). They didn't know that they could buy a home with less than 20% down. They thought needed 20% down payment in order to buy and that they were unique if they did not have it. The truth is I am currently working with 6 first time home buyers and all 6 are using less than 20% to purchase their first home. With new federal regulations there are so many perks for FTHBs to get into the market. Not just a low down payment but extended amortization and many fees waived.

While many home buyers are fortunate enough to have the min 20% to avoid insurance premiums there are more who don't quite have it for their first home. I had 5% when I bought my first home. Hopefully this will help someone else out here. :)

Many homebuyers will forgo the home inspection on a new build. This story I'm attaching is why that is a bad idea. Get a second opinion on the building. Not just your friend who is an electrician but a non biased third party who will really look around. Warranty or not it is a good idea to do your own due diligence.

Condo owners are seeking damages for losses caused by increased costs and lowered value, according to a lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court.

When Traditional Lending Isn’t the Right Fit, Alternative Lending Might Be

Not every borrower meets the strict guidelines of traditional lenders. That's where alternative lending comes in - offering flexible solutions for those who need a different approach to financing.

We are seeing more homeowners and business owners turn to alternative lenders due to:

✅ Higher TDS (Total Debt Service) Ratios. If your debt levels exceed prime lender limits, alternative lending can provide solutions that better match your financial situation.

✅ Self-Employed or Small Business Income. Many business owners claim lower taxable income, making it harder to qualify with banks. Alternative lenders allow for a more flexible income review based on bank statements, business financials, and other supporting documents.

✅ Financing for Unique Situations. Whether you are purchasing, refinancing, or need access to equity, alternative lenders provide options that go beyond the traditional lending box.

If you have been turned down by a bank/prime lender, it doesn't mean your mortgage goals are out of reach. Let’s explore your options and find a solution that works for you!
