Why Borrowers Use Land Loans
Purchase Vacant Land
Finance qualifying Ontario land purchases when conventional lenders cannot accommodate the property or transaction.
Refinance Existing Land
Replace existing financing or restructure debt secured against qualifying vacant or development land.
Access Land Equity
Use available equity in an owned parcel to access capital for approved business, development or investment purposes.
What Is a Private Land Loan?
A private land loan is financing secured against land rather than a completed residential home. Because vacant and development properties can differ significantly in location, servicing, zoning, marketability and intended use, land financing is reviewed individually rather than through a standard residential mortgage formula.
Private financing may provide an alternative when a bank will not finance the property, requires a larger down payment or cannot meet the transaction timeline.
Who Qualifies?
Every land loan is reviewed individually based on the property, requested amount, location, existing financing and proposed exit strategy.

Private land financing gives you the flexibility to move forward when banks won’t:

✔ Fund holding costs or servicing

Land Financing Is Different — And Banks Are Slow
Land is harder to finance through traditional lenders.
Banks focus on:
- income
- strict zoning requirements
- long approval timelines
Private lenders focus on:
- location
- land value
- exit strategy
If the land has value and a clear plan — you may still qualify.
