The A, B, C’s of Equity-Based Mortgage Lending & How to Get Approved in Less Than 48 Hours

When it comes to securing a mortgage, many borrowers think their credit score and income are the most important factors. While that’s true for traditional bank financing, equity-based lending works differently.

At Lendworth, we focus on the value of your property rather than your credit history or income. This means faster approvals and flexible lending solutions to meet your financial needs.

Here’s everything you need to know about equity-based lending and how you can get approved in as little as 48 hours.

A – Assessing Your Equity

Equity-based lenders prioritize loan-to-value (LTV) over credit scores and employment history. The higher the equity in your property, the easier it is to secure financing.

🔹 What is Equity? Equity is the difference between the value of your property and the amount you owe on it. The more equity you have, the better your borrowing power.

🔹 Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio Lenders use this ratio to determine how much they can lend. For example, if your property is worth $1,000,000 and you owe $400,000, your equity is $600,000, making it easier to qualify for financing.

B – Be Ready with the Right Documents

To streamline the approval process and secure funding in under 48 hours, make sure you have the following ready:

Mortgage Application & Credit Bureau Report – Providing your personal details and credit history helps us understand your financial situation.

Government-Issued Photo ID – Required to verify your identity.

Most Recent Notice of Assessment (NOA) – Showing no taxes owing is ideal, but if you do owe taxes, we can pay them directly from your mortgage proceeds.

Property Appraisal – This confirms the current market value of your property and ensures accurate lending decisions. We can help you order an appraisal if needed.

C – Closing & Getting Funded

Once your mortgage is approved, the final steps include:

📅 Setting a Funding Date Through Your Lawyer – A lawyer will handle the legal paperwork and finalize the mortgage.

💰 Receiving Your Funds – Once the legal process is complete, funds are advanced to you or used to pay off existing debts (including taxes, if necessary).
