If your income doesn’t qualify you for a bank loan and a B Lender is your only option, you might be wondering how much B Lender mortgage rates would cost you. B Lender rates in BC Canada for 1 year fixed rates can start as low as major banks’ 5 year fixed rates. What is important to keep in mind though, is that B Lenders do charge a lender’s fee while the responsibility for all legal & appraisal costs is on you. Since not all B Lenders have the same fees and their mortgage rates are set on a case by case basis, there may be additional costs involved, so get in touch for a complete review of your situation.
