Why Choose Lez Gomez

Benefits of Working With Us

Lez Gomez provides expert mortgage solutions tailored to your unique situation across Ontario.

Understands Self-Employment

Lez Gomez knows that self-employed Ontarians write off expenses that reduce their reported income. We work with lenders in Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, and province-wide who look beyond your NOA to see your true earning power.

Stated Income Programs

Qualify based on reasonable stated income rather than line 150. Lez Gomez connects Ontario entrepreneurs with A-lenders, B-lenders, and credit unions that offer stated income programs from Brampton to Barrie and beyond.

Flexible Documentation

Bank statements, business financials, contracts, invoices - Lez Gomez works with whatever documentation you have. We package self-employed mortgage applications strategically for maximum approval probability across Ontario.

Competitive Rates Available

Many self-employed Ontario clients qualify for A-lender rates with the right presentation. Lez Gomez maximizes your qualification by selecting the optimal program from 50+ lenders in Vaughan, Oakville, Kitchener, and province-wide.

All Business Types

Sole proprietors, partnerships, incorporated businesses, contractors, gig workers, commissioned salespeople, and freelancers. Lez Gomez has specific lender programs for every business structure across Ontario.

Tax-Smart Structuring

Lez Gomez helps Ontario business owners structure their mortgage in the most tax-efficient way possible, potentially making mortgage interest deductible for investment properties and business-use portions of your home.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can I qualify for a mortgage if I write off a lot of business expenses?
Yes. Lez Gomez works with Ontario lenders who offer stated income programs specifically designed for self-employed borrowers who minimize taxable income through legitimate write-offs. We help you state a reasonable income based on your business type, industry, and bank statement deposits rather than relying solely on your tax returns.
How long do I need to be self-employed to get a mortgage in Ontario?
Most A-lenders require 2+ years of self-employment history. Some B-lenders accept 1 year. Lez Gomez works with Ontario business owners at every stage and can find solutions even for recently self-employed clients with strong equity or credit profiles.
What documents do self-employed borrowers need in Ontario?
Typical documents include: Notice of Assessments (NOAs), T1 Generals, business financials, articles of incorporation or business license, 6-12 months of bank statements, and a letter from your accountant. Lez Gomez knows exactly what each Ontario lender requires and helps you prepare.
Can I get the same rates as salaried employees?
Often yes. Lez Gomez helps many self-employed Ontario clients qualify for A-lender rates by strategically matching them with the right program. If your credit is strong (680+) and you have reasonable down payment (20%+), A-lender stated income programs often have rates comparable to conventional mortgages.
Does Lez Gomez help self-employed borrowers across all of Ontario?
Absolutely. Lez Gomez serves self-employed mortgage clients in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Barrie, Kingston, Sudbury, and every Ontario community. As a licensed Ontario mortgage agent, our lender network covers the entire province.
