Path to
Financial Stability

Background

This client, a 62-year-old widow in Tiny, Ontario, faces financial uncertainty after the loss of her husband, who was the primary income earner. With a private mortgage nearing its term and no active credit, she needs to refinance her home to consolidate debts and secure her financial future.

Financial Details

  • Qualifying GDS/TDS: The high qualifying GDS and TDS ratios stood at 67.19%, respectively, reflecting limited income sources.
  • Loan Amount and LTV: Approved $115,000 with a low LTV of 15.97%, showcasing significant equity in the property.
  • Employment and Income: As a retiree, income primarily from OAS and a survivors’ pension, totalling $19,378.68 annually. Her adult children contribute additional income, though not formally documented.

The Journey

Despite the challenges of having no active credit and a non-conforming financial profile, this application would be approved due to substantial stable pension income, presence of help from adult children and significant equity in the property. The refinancing would consolidate debts but also provide a tangible monthly saving, ensuring continued comfort in her family home. This story underscores the importance of home equity in achieving financial peace during retirement.
