Pre-Construction Condo Conundrum
August 25 Deal of the Week – Pre-Construction Condo Conundrum! 
Lawrence purchased his pre-construction Condo in Toronto in 2013 and ran into problems when it came time to find a mortgage 3 years later. His credit score took a huge hit after his divorce and he was turned down from the banks. Stuck scrambling for a mortgage, he came to Matrix Mortgage Global for help.
Here’s what his situation looked like:
Property Value in 2013: $300,000
Down Payment: $30,000 (10%)
Credit Score: 450
Employment: Self-Employed (Cleaning service)
What we did:
We ordered a current appraisal on the property and found the current value to be $400,000 now that the condo was built. We lent against the current value of the property instead of the original value.
Property Value: $400,000
Down Payment: $130,000 ($30,000 original deposit + $100,000 equity)
1st mortgage: $300,000
Presto!
Lawrence was able to close on his new condo on time and he’s ready to move in and have a fresh start. Matrix Mortgage Global was able to lend on the property value and use that to qualify him despite his damaged credit and business for self status.
