    Kat is a dental surgeon who owns her own practice and works at a private clinic in Toronto. She makes $850K per year but only pays herself $150K in the form of a dividend. She is looking to purchase her first home in Toronto and needed the help of a SafeBridge mortgage agent to help her access the right mortgage products to fit her situation. Kat provided all her Financial Statements and was able to get into an amazing mortgage with a HELOC and flexible pre-payment terms to ensure she could pay off her mortgage as fast as possible.
