1 We don’t charge lender fees, which private lenders often set between 1-3% of the mortgage amount. However, a nominal documentation fee applies upon mortgage approval.
2 You may skip one mortgage payment per year when needed. However, this is not recommended, as interest will continue to accrue, increasing your overall borrowing costs. Using Skip-a-Payment may significantly raise the interest you pay over the life of your mortgage, so it's important to carefully assess your financial situation before exercising this option.
