Frequently Asked Questions

Private Mortgage Questions Answered

Clear answers for Ontario borrowers looking at private mortgages, refinancing, home equity, construction financing, and urgent lending options.

Can I get a mortgage in Ontario with bad credit?

Yes. Even with poor credit or collections, you can qualify through private mortgage lenders who base approvals on your home equity, not your credit score. These lenders focus on property value and location instead of your credit history.

Get Started
Can I refinance my home if I have mortgage arrears or unpaid taxes?

Yes. A refinance or home equity take out can pay off arrears, CRA debts, or property taxes and stop a power of sale before it progresses.

What’s the difference between a private lender and a bank?

Banks rely on strict credit and income criteria. Private lenders use equity based lending, focusing on property value, location, and loan to value ratio, allowing flexible approvals when banks say no.

Can I get approved for a mortgage in Ontario with bad credit or self employed income?

Yes. Private and alternative lenders use equity based lending, meaning your approval depends on your property’s value and available equity rather than your credit score or income verification.

What documents are needed for an equity based mortgage?

You’ll typically need property details, recent mortgage statement, property tax bill, and valid ID. Income proof is optional because your property’s equity determines approval.

How does a HELOC differ from a refinance?

A Home Equity Line of Credit gives you revolving access to funds, while a refinance provides a single lump sum payment from your home’s equity.

Get Started With A Free Consultation
Can a private mortgage stop a power of sale?

Yes. A private refinance can immediately pay arrears and stop a power of sale or foreclosure, preserving your ownership before the process completes.

How do private construction or renovation mortgages work?

These progress draw loans release funds in stages as work is completed. Private lenders simplify approvals and financing for custom builds or major renovations.
