Kingston First-Time Buyers Approved While One Borrower Was on Maternity Leave
First-time home buyers in Kingston approached HopeWell for pre-qualification before house hunting. Both borrowers were salaried, but one borrower was on maternity leave. HopeWell reviewed the income documentation, explained how lenders may treat maternity leave income when a return-to-work date is confirmed, and prepared multiple qualification scenarios: insured mortgage, conventional A-lender mortgage, and B-lender mortgage. HopeWell also helped the clients prepare a monthly budget that included current expenses and expected costs related to a new baby. The clients proceeded with an insured mortgage and purchased a home that fit their requirements.
