Private Mortgage Lending
One of our Niche Mortgage Products

Few Mortgage Brokers really take the time to get to know and understand Private Mortgage Lending.  Often times they may know one or two local lenders with interest rates over 10%.  What we do differently is we have taken the time to get to know all the Private Mortgage Lenders from coast to coast, learning what their client profile is, and interest rates and fees.  Where a local private mortgage lender may have an interest rate of 10.75% - 14.00%, we have made arrangements with lenders from across Canada with rates starting as low as 8.95%.

How we can Help Clients with Bad Credit

Private Mortgages are generally short term mortgage loans ranging from six months to three years in length.  Quite often they are interest only to reduce the payment amount, but some also include principal and interest.  Private Mortgages are designed for situations where an odd property is being purchased, or there are credit problems and a bank won't approve the client, or the client is in foreclosure, or late on their mortgage payments and needs to bring their mortgage up to date, consolidating debt, property taxes, CRA tax, Collections, Judgments, Consumer Proposals and Bankruptcy.  Private Mortgages can be first, second, or even third mortgages, and work for purchases, refinances, rental properties, and commercial properties.

Criteria of a Private Mortgage

Private Mortgage Lenders are mainly interested in the property.  Generally they allow up to 75% of the homes value to be borrowed, in some cases up to 85% (at a higher rate).  Because they have a large equity position, many private lenders do not ask for proof of income.  Just an appraisal to confirm the value of the property.  Private lenders will want to see a copy of the clients credit bureau, however they will lend in virtually any credit situation.
