Mortgage for Veterinarians

Real Mortgage Success

Sarah, a final-year student at Veterinary College, found herself facing student loans as she pursued her education. However, she was confident in her ability to manage this financial commitment once she began her promising career. The exciting news came when she was recruited to work in a small-town practice in Ontario. Faced with the decision of whether to buy a home or rent in her new community, Sarah carefully weighed the pros and cons.

Ultimately, she decided that purchasing a home made more sense in the long run. Despite the challenge of having only worked part-time and not yet starting her new position at the clinic, Sarah explored her options. Turning to The Mortgage Centre, she discovered a unique lending program negotiated with some of Canada’s largest non-bank lenders, exclusively available through brokers. These lenders were willing to consider Sarah’s future projected income, requiring only a 10% down payment for her to buy a home. This arrangement proved favorable, with the monthly mortgage cost comparable to rental payments. Beyond securing financing, The Mortgage Centre provided invaluable assistance by helping Sarah create a budget. This allowed her to simultaneously address her student loans and invest in a property poised to appreciate in value over the years.

Having devoted over a decade to a veterinary practice, Ranjeet found himself surprised when the current clinic owner expressed a desire to retire. With a house to his name and aspirations to take over the clinic, Ranjeet strategized leveraging the equity in his primary residence.

Collaborating with The Mortgage Centre, Ranjeet successfully structured a mortgage on his home, enabling him to extend a loan to the corporation for the clinic acquisition. The Mortgage Centre’s expertise allowed him to optimize the terms, surpassing the offerings from his bank.

This empowered Ranjeet to not only secure the clinic but also acquire the associated commercial property down the line, all with the invaluable assistance of The Mortgage Centre.

During the challenging Covid years, Jennifer’s veterinary practice faced setbacks due to staff illnesses. With the financial situation back on track and a more positive mindset, Jennifer decided to address the high-interest debt that had accumulated.

Seeking a solution, she reached out to The Mortgage Centre, where they diligently explored three scenarios encompassing both traditional bank financing and alternative lending.

The presented options were transparently laid out, allowing Jennifer to choose the one that not only lowered interest costs but also facilitated debt repayment. Surprisingly, these alternatives weren’t initially presented by her primary bank. The exciting update is that Jennifer is now in the process of acquiring another veterinary clinic, a significant step forward for her growing practice and family.
