About this episode
Episode 211: Imagine how much easier buying a home would be if you knew exactly what lenders were looking for. Lenders take some significant factors into account when approving a mortgage. Knowledge is power, and understanding the mortgage approval process can give us that edge in our quest to find an ideal home at the right price and time.
In this episode, Brighton Gbarazia offers a behind-the-scenes look into some of the key factors that banks and lenders won't tell you when applying for a mortgage.
Brighton is a financial and real estate expert with over a decade of experience working as a financial advisor and mortgage underwriter for some of Canada's largest banks and credit unions. He is the Founder of Wealth Marathon and author of Master Your Mortgage: What the bank won't tell you about buying the right home.
There are plenty of books about real estate, but more is needed for real people looking at buying real estate. For the insider's guide to a mortgage, pick up a copy of Master Your Mortgage.
