ARE YOU

WORKING OR SELF-EMPLOYED
IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY?  

WE HAVE MORE REASONS TO SAY YES.

CANNABIS HOME LOANS

HOME LOANS FOR WORKERS & BUSINESS OWNERS IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

We lend to both business owners and W2 workers in the Cannabis industry.  We offer two distinct loan programs to make it easier for you to achieve the dream of homeownership.

 

Each program is designed to accommodate your type of income.

 

Where you work doesn't matter to us for loan approval.  🌿 With our programs, you'll still qualify with the same criteria as a normal loan (income, assets, credit, reserves, etc.)

 

Unlike banks, credit unions, and other lenders, we have extensive experience and knowledge with mortgage lending in this sector, and we are confident that we can help you navigate the loan process with ease.

 

"Working with Derek and his team on my mortgage was an absolute walk in the park, no hiccups, everything was on time and this level of customer service/care is not something you will find at a big bank.

Working as a W2 in the cannabis industry can bar you from getting a mortgage with most lenders, but at unconventional lending this was never an issue and there was no difference in the rates proposed compared to other lenders!

Thank you Derek & Team for all the help on my first home!"
