## Services (detailed)

### Residential Mortgages
Purchases, renewals, and refinances for primary homes, condos, townhomes, and vacation properties. Includes first-time home buyer programs, pre-approvals (often same-day), and purchase financing for single-family, condo, duplex, and multi-unit properties across all three licensed provinces.

### Construction Financing
Residential and commercial construction with progressive draw schedules, holdback management, and cash-flow structuring. The brokerage works with builders across BC, Alberta, and Ontario and manages the lender-builder coordination throughout the build.

### Commercial Mortgages
Multi-family, retail, and industrial property financing, including investment property mortgages (recognizing up to 80% of rental income for qualification) and cap-rate / NOI-based underwriting.

### MLI Select Program
CMHC's MLI Select program offers significant mortgage insurance premium savings for qualifying multi-unit rental properties. Kraft Mortgages specializes in the eligibility criteria, energy-efficiency requirements, and application process — the brokerage cites cases of saving developers over $200,000 per project in premiums.

### Equity Lending
Institutional private/alternative lending through firms such as Antrim, Alta West Capital, Vault, and Sequence Capital. Used for debt consolidation, renovations, investment access, and refinancing when borrowers don't fit conventional guidelines.

### Private Lending
Individual private lenders and Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) for short-term and alternative financing. Fast approvals, often within 24-48 hours, for situations where timeline, credit, or property type fall outside conventional guidelines.

### Self-Employed / Stated-Income Mortgages
Stated-income and alternative-verification programs that recognize the full picture of a self-employed borrower's earnings (not just T4 income). Designed for entrepreneurs, freelancers, contractors, and small business owners.

### Business Funding
Working capital, lines of credit, and equipment financing for business operations, distinct from the mortgage services above.
