Is an alternative or private mortgage right for you?

B-lender and private options can be the right tool, or an expensive one. Here's how to tell.

Potential benefits

✓Can qualify on cash flow when taxable income looks low
✓Can let you buy or refinance now rather than waiting years
✓More flexible on income documentation and, for private, credit
✓Can be a bridge back to a traditional lender

Trade-offs

✕Typically higher rates than traditional lenders
✕Lender and broker fees are common, especially private
✕Shorter terms mean renewing or refinancing sooner
✕Usually requires a larger down payment or more equity
✕Without an exit plan, costs can add up

It may make sense when…

Your business cash flow is strong but write-offs keep your taxable income low
You have a meaningful down payment or home equity
A time-sensitive purchase or debt situation can't wait
There's a realistic plan to move to a traditional lender at renewal

It may be better to wait and restructure when…

You're close to qualifying traditionally and one stronger tax year could get you there
Your credit needs a few months of cleanup
The added costs outweigh the benefit of acting now
The payment would stretch your budget

Talk to your accountant about how declaring more income affects your taxes. If an alternative mortgage isn't the right fit right now, you'll be told so.
