Guelph First-Time Buyer Approved While on Probation with Gifted Down Payment
A first-time home buyer in Guelph had recently graduated from a leading Canadian business school and started a job with one of the Big Four consulting firms. She was a single applicant and wanted to buy her first home with a 20% down payment. The file had two key challenges: she was still within a three-month probation period, and the full down payment was gifted by her parents. We presented the file to an A lender, explained the strength of the borrower profile, and requested exceptions for both the probationary employment and the gifted down payment. The lender accepted the exceptions and approved the mortgage.
