Not approved by the bank? You may still have options 👇

Private lending does not require traditional income proof 💼
What matters most is a reasonable down payment 💰

It can work for:
• Self employed with low reported income 📉
• Cash income earners 💵
• Bruised or rebuilding credit 🔧

Why consider it:
• Buy a home sooner 🏡
• Invest in real estate 📊
• Start building equity 📈

It is a short term solution with a plan to move back to a bank later 🔄

If the bank said no, do not stop there. Let’s explore what is still possible.

Major update to new home rebates in Ontario.

In addition to the federal GST rebate, Ontario has announced a proposal to expand HST rebates — potentially allowing buyers to save up to $130,000 on new construction homes.

Here’s what’s being proposed:

• Homes under $1M → full 13% HST rebate (up to $130K)
• Homes up to $1.5M → maximum rebate maintained
• Homes up to $1.85M → reduced rebate available

This builds on the federal rebate and reflects a joint effort to lower the cost of new homes and increase housing supply.

The expanded rebate is expected to apply to qualifying purchases between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, and may apply to both primary residences and certain rental properties.

If you're considering buying a new build, this could significantly reduce your upfront costs.

Send me a message if you want to explore homes that may qualify.
