QUOTE (MikeMcCrae @ Jun 12 2009, 03:10 PM) Please report the mortgage broker to the provincial authorities. It is that kind of activity that is causing a lot of lenders to look at their policy in the way they deal with brokers. Brokers and competition cause low rates and that is good for us all...

QUOTE (RobMacdonald @ Jun 12 2009, 10:55 AM) Even on a new property most banks will not require a lease. With most lenders, they will rely on the statement of economic rent from the appraiser. If you happen to be getting a really high rental rate for your unit, the bank really wants to know what...

QUOTE (JulieHoffman @ Jun 9 2009, 10:35 PM) P.S. A Dummy lease sounds kinda "grey" to me. I doubt a bank is going to like anything called "Dummy". Thanks Julie. We are looking around for built stuff.....too, just want to keep in orangeville let`s see further ...."Dummy lease" was brokers...

QUOTE (GaryMcGowan @ Jun 9 2009, 06:28 PM) No question!!! RUN FROM THIS MORTGAGE BROKER even if it’s your brother. You need to operate your business in professional manner and always sign documents that are 100% true. It may cost you a few dollars. But I`d rather a few dollars than 1000`s and...

Thanks John, I know thats not legit and appreciate your reply .... Now my concern is still the same...Why would the Bank ask for a lease agreement when there`s nothing constructed... Thanks

Hi Well we are looking to buy this retail unit as few lenders have given us verbal quotes but for a written quote they want the Lease agreement signed by the tenant.. The unit is expected to ready by dec 2009..( nothing started yet...) How can sombody lease a unit showing a bare naked land...

QUOTE (thomasbeyer2000 @ May 16 2009, 09:32 AM) Assume that you will get at best 50% loan-to-value mortgages without a personal guarantee, if at all. In Canada, most commercial mortgages over 50% LTV come with a full or at least partial personal guarantee !! in theory yes .. in practice: no ...

QUOTE (thomasbeyer2000 @ May 15 2009, 08:19 PM) yes, GST is payable. And usualyl it is not used to calculate the mortgage.And yes you have to register for the GST #, either as a person (NOT RECOMMENDED !!) or you have to incorporate which is the norm for commercial ! this is an average deal ...

Hi, Further I was talking to the Agent and found 5% gst would be payable/ added .... also he said if you have a GST No: it would cancel out ( I guess he said it would just be a paper work) ... Now in case we don`t incorporate and don`t have a GST No. How do we deal with this. I know when we...

QUOTE (thomasbeyer2000 @ May 13 2009, 07:38 AM) 80% at 5% .. hardly for commercial. Let`s assume you get 70% at 6% AT BEST .. more likely less and higher interest rate .. does it make sense then ? But keep us updated here. Get a commitment in writing from a lender .. not a realtor`s opinion ...
