Government regulations on mortgages and qualification requirements stringently applied by mainstream lenders in Canada are making it increasingly more difficult for people to qualify for a standard mortgage.

Private Mortgage Lenders’ Rates

Private investors are prepared to trade higher risk for higher returns. They realise that the strict criteria applied by the banks is preventing people who are able to pay back loans from borrowing. Those prepared to pay the higher lenders’ rates may qualify for a private mortgage.

Private mortgages make up around four to five percent of the property loan market in Canada. These loans are generally taken over the shorter term, somewhere between one and three years.

The borrower is not expected to pay back the principal. Paying only the interest means that the amount that has to be paid monthly is reduced. Because this is a short-term mortgage, the borrower should have a long-term plan in place.

When It Is Difficult to Get a Mortgage Through Mainstream Banks

Circumstances that create the need for private mortgage lenders.

  • The borrower does not qualify for a mortgage due to poor credit history
  • Funding for unconventional homes that the banks will not cover
  • The borrower is self-employed and unable to provide proof of steady income
  • The borrower is recently employed, or temporarily out of employment
  • Non-residents

Private mortgages may make it possible to take advantage of circumstances.

  • Second mortgages for home improvements prior to selling
  • Second mortgages to top up the first where the buyer cannot make up the difference between the seventy or eighty percent mortgage and the purchase price of the property
  • For construction projects to circumvent restrictions placed on these projects by mainstream funders.

Private mortgages are normally more quickly and easily obtained than conventional mortgages as the providers of these funds are happy to use the property as security. The decision will be based on the intrinsic value and location of the property. The creditworthiness and income of the applicant is less important to the lender as the property secures the mortgage. Typically, a mortgage will only cover 85% of the value of the property, and the borrower will be expected to make a down payment. The bigger the down payment the less the risk to the investor.

Private Mortgage Lenders’ Interest Rates

As with all investments, the private lender will expect to receive higher interest rates for higher risk so the private mortgage does come at a cost. The interest rates are usually between ten and eighteen percent per annum. Obtaining the private mortgage can also run up additional costs of between one and four percent of the total loan amount for legal, broker and lender fees, but they are a great solution for home owners who are facing foreclosure, who have property tax arrears or who need an opportunity to improve their credit rating.

Was looking for a mortgage broker in Toronto. Heard about Leon and his team from a co worker and decided to give them a call. after some time on the phone talking about mortgages and what would work best for me I was VERY impressed. They were polite and most importantly they knew what they were talking about. We then scheduled an appointment and I got my mortgage with a great rate. Definitely recommend.

Got tired of sow service and mediocre rates from my bank, so I started looking for a mortgage broker. Had some family friends recommended Leon and his team, so decided to check them out. Was very impressed with Leon, he guided me through step by step, recommended a mortgage and I ended up switching to him. My rate is better and he always answers call and emails right away.

A little while back my wife and I finally decided to stop renting and get a place of our own. After some searching we found a condo we both liked and that was in our price range. The next step was a mortgage, but honestly, neither of us knew too much of what we were getting into. We found Leon and his team after a quick search on google and have had a wonderful experience. Leon and his team of mortgage brokers are VERY knowledgable, polite, work fast and just all around very professional. They answered all our questions and we got a great rate.

Getting a private mortgage was not easy to be honest, but at least with Mr. Leon it was doable. Thank you for your help!

Going through with this company was my best decision. These Burlington mortgage brokers are real professionals. They helped me to save thousands of dollars, I'm not sure I'd find such a good offer myself.
