Residential Property Coverage

Private Residential Mortgages For Many Ontario Property Types

Trillium Mortgage arranges private residential mortgage options for homeowners, buyers, investors, and borrowers who need equity based approval outside traditional bank requirements.

Private Residential Mortgage Approvals Based On Equity

Private residential mortgages arranged through Trillium Mortgage are approved using an equity based approach. For refinances, lenders focus on the value of the property and available equity after existing mortgages. For purchases, approval is based on the property value and the buyer’s down payment position.

  • Approval is based on property value and available equity or down payment.
  • Credit history is reviewed but does not determine approval.
  • Traditional income documents are not required.
  • Ability to maintain the mortgage must be demonstrated.
  • Approvals and funding can often be completed within 24 to 48 hours.

Mortgage Refinances

Credit history is reviewed, but it does not need to be the deciding factor when there is enough property equity.

Self Employed Borrowers

Self employed clients may qualify without standard pay stubs when bank statements, assets, or cash flow support the file.

No Traditional Income

Traditional income documents are not always required when the mortgage can be supported through equity and repayment ability.

No Job Situations

Borrowers without current employment may still be reviewed if the property, equity, and exit strategy are strong enough.

Arrears And Taxes

Private refinance options may help address mortgage arrears, income tax arrears, property tax arrears, or urgent debts.

Fast Funding Reviews

Approvals and funding can often move within 24 to 48 hours when the property details and supporting information are ready.

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.

Get Started With A Free Consultation
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.

Get Started With A Free Consultation
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.

Get Started With A Free Consultation
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.
