Does the coach replace a strategy call?

No. It picks the first desk and the first calculator so you do not start on the wrong product. The 30-minute strategy call still underwrites the file.

Which calculator will I land on?

MLI files open the CMHC MLI max loan calculator. Cash-flow files open the Canada or US DSCR calculator. Conventional and commercial files open the mortgage payment or commercial mortgage calculator. Mexico files skip the calculator and book the Mexico desk.

Is this the same as the investor quiz?

No. The investor quiz maps your persona (cash-flow buyer, value-add, scaler, capital partner). The decision coach maps the product: MLI vs DSCR vs conventional/private.

Is the coach and the strategy call free?

Yes. The decision coach and the 30-minute initial strategy consultation with LendCity™ are free with no obligation.

What if I already know the path?

Skip the questions and use the three-path list on this page, or go straight to Get Financed for an MLI consult, DSCR qualify, or commercial rate quote.

MLI, DSCR, or conventional?

Q: What does the decision coach choose between?

Three investor paths: CMHC MLI for 5+ unit Canadian multifamily, DSCR / cash-flow qualification for 1–4 unit Canada or U.S. rentals, and conventional or private for owner-occupied, commercial, construction, and income-qualified 1–4 unit files.

Two or three questions. We route you to CMHC MLI, DSCR / cash flow, or conventional / private — then the matching calculator and a strategy call with that desk.
