365 Finance · Toronto & the GTA
I'm Daniel Sri, founder of 365 Finance. I've worked in Ontario mortgages since 2015, and I'll run your numbers honestly and shop your purchase, refinance, or renewal across many lenders — so you get the mortgage that fits your life, not just the first one offered. I currently refer mortgage applications to Mortgage Alliance Access Inc., a licensed Ontario brokerage — and my own FSRA agent licence renewal is in progress.

What I do
I work for you — not for one bank. I prepare your file and refer it to Mortgage Alliance Access Inc., which places it with the lender whose rates, terms, and fine print suit your situation best.
Know your real budget before you shop. A pre-approval holds a rate for up to 120 days while you look, and flags problems while there's still time to fix them.
The First Home Savings Account, the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan, the land-transfer-tax rebate, and 30-year insured amortizations — stacked properly, they change what you can buy.
Roll high-interest cards and loans into your mortgage, fund a renovation, or pull out equity for an investment — with the break-even math done honestly first.
Most renewal offers are signed without a second look. Your lender's first offer is rarely its best — start 120 days out and let other lenders compete for your business.
Two years of tax returns isn't the whole story. Stated-income and alternative (B-lender) programs exist for business owners, contractors, and new Canadians the big banks turn away.
Bruised credit, a power of sale, or a closing that's days away — equity-based and private options can buy time and protect the home while we rebuild toward a bank mortgage.
Run your numbers
Real Canadian math: semi-annual compounding, CMHC insurance premiums, and the federal stress test built in. Estimates only — your actual quote comes after a short conversation.
Accelerated bi-weekly pays the equivalent of one extra monthly payment a year — it can cut years off your mortgage.
The stress test uses your rate + 2% (the federal minimum qualifying rate also applies). Lenders must confirm you can carry the payment at that higher rate.
Affordability is tested at this rate + 2% — the federal stress test.
Car loans and leases, minimum credit-card and line-of-credit payments, student loans.
Based on the standard lender limits — housing costs at or under 35% of gross income (GDS) and all debts at or under 44% (TDS) — with a 25-year amortization at the qualifying rate. Strong files sometimes qualify for more; a short call sorts out where you stand.
How it works
Your goals, income, credit picture, and timeline — in plain language. You'll leave knowing your price range and what to fix before applying, if anything.
One application and one credit pull. I verify your documents up front so your pre-approval means something when you write an offer.
Through Mortgage Alliance Access Inc., your file goes to the lenders that fit it — big banks, credit unions, and monoline lenders you can't walk into. We compare rate, prepayment room, and penalty math, not just the headline number.
Conditions cleared, lawyer instructed, funds on closing day. Then I track your term and check in before renewal — not after your lender's offer expires.
Founder · 365 Finance
I've worked in Ontario mortgages since 2015 — purchases, refinances, renewals, and the hard files other offices hand back. 365 Finance is my practice: your file handled start to finish by one person, no call centre. While my FSRA agent licence renewal is in progress, I refer applications to Mortgage Alliance Access Inc. — a fully licensed and regulated Ontario brokerage, the same way my clients' files have always closed.
Based in Scarborough, serving all of Toronto and the GTA. My clients are often people with real lives — shift work, self-employment, a bruise on the credit file — who need someone to actually run the numbers before saying no.
Straight answers
For a standard purchase, refinance, or renewal, nothing out of pocket — the lender pays a finder's fee to the brokerage when your mortgage funds. Fees can apply on alternative or private files, and you'll see the exact number before you sign anything.
The minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 of the price and 10% on the portion above that, up to $999,999 — at $1M or more, 20% is required. Under 20% down means CMHC (or Sagen / Canada Guaranty) insurance, which adds a premium to the mortgage but unlocks the best rates.
Every federally regulated lender must confirm you could still carry your payment at your contract rate + 2% (or the federal benchmark floor, whichever is higher). It decides how much you qualify for — the calculator above builds it in.
Yes. Alternative lenders look mainly at your equity and income, not a perfect score, and a year or two in the right alternative mortgage can rebuild you into a bank product. What matters is a plan — and knowing it before your current term matures.
About 120 days before maturity. That's when I can hold a rate with a new lender while we negotiate with your current one — leverage you don't have the week the term expires.
