How to Qualify for a Mortgage using Commission Income

Do you earn commission income? Having a hard time qualifying for the mortgage you want?

Real estate agents and insurance brokers are two common businesses that tend to be 100% commission based. Lenders consider commission income with a bit more risk than other types of self-employed business income.

Three things to consider when seeking a mortgage using this type of income:

Documentation is key. Save those T4As and your employers' commission reports for the last 2 years. Be able to distinguish between gross and net commission amounts.
