Why Homeowners Use Bad Credit Mortgages

1

Credit Challenges Considered

Past missed payments, collections, consumer credit issues or a lower credit score do not automatically prevent a private mortgage review.

2

Equity-Based Financing

Property value, available equity, mortgage position and the overall financing structure are important factors in private mortgage lending.
3

Options After a Bank Decline

Private first and second mortgages may provide an alternative when traditional lenders cannot approve the application.

Why Can Private Mortgage Lenders Consider Bad Credit?

Traditional lenders rely heavily on credit, income and debt-service requirements. Private mortgage lending can place greater emphasis on the property securing the mortgage, available equity and the borrower's overall repayment or exit strategy.

Property Value

 The current value and marketability of the Ontario property are important lending considerations.

Available Equity

Existing mortgage balances are compared with the property's value to determine the available equity position. 

Exit Strategy

The lender considers how the private mortgage is expected to be repaid, refinanced or discharged.
