Who we work with

Built for files that don't fit the bank box.

Private mortgage options exist for borrowers who fall outside standard bank guidelines — often for reasons that have nothing to do with their ability to actually repay.

📉

Bad or bruised credit

Collections, missed payments, consumer proposals, past bankruptcy, or a score that doesn't reflect where you are today. Private lenders focus on equity first.

No minimum score
📋

Self-employed income

If you write off expenses, your taxable income on paper may not reflect what you actually earn. We work with lenders who understand how to read a self-employed file.

Stated income options
⏱️

Urgent timeline

Closing in days, renewal falling through, a possession deadline, or a power of sale notice. Private lenders can move significantly faster when the file is clear.

48–72hr closings possible
🏦

Mortgage arrears & CRA debt

Behind on payments or carrying a CRA lien? A private mortgage can sometimes stop the clock and buy time to stabilize before a bank exit is possible.

Foreclosure situations welcome
💳

Debt consolidation

High-interest credit cards, personal loans, or CRA balances can sometimes be consolidated into a single mortgage-secured payment, reducing monthly pressure.

Single monthly payment
🏠

Second mortgages

Already have a mortgage you don't want to break? A second mortgage lets you access equity without disrupting your existing rate or triggering a penalty.

2

Initial file review

We assess likely fit based on equity position, property type, urgency, and borrower profile. Usually same day.

3

Options explained clearly

A plain-English explanation of realistic paths, realistic costs, and what documents would be required.

Move forward if it fits

If there's a genuine path, the file moves toward application and closing. You decide if and when.
