What is a private mortgage?
A private mortgage can be used by borrowers when a traditional bank or lending institution refuses to offer them a mortgage or refinance loan. They typically last for six months to three years, and are usually interest-only loans.
Many banks and other traditional lending institutions reject perfectly capable borrowers who cannot meet their strict guidelines. Rather than focusing solely on the borrower's credit score and income, private lenders pay more attention to the value and condition of the property. 3 Types of private lenders1. Corporations that invest in mortgages, also called mortgage investment corporations (MIC).
When a group of individual investors pool their personal funds, mortgage investment corporations are formed. As opposed to investing in one mortgage at a time, mortgage investment corporations invest in multiple mortgages simultaneously. 2. Syndicate investors are also known as private mortgage companies. A syndicated mortgage is created when a group of investors pool their own funds into one mortgage. 3. Individual private lenders Individual lenders are those who invest their own money in private lending.

How to build Credit
A low credit score is not the end of the world; most situations relating to credit can be redeemed and fixed fairly quickly. Now a days there are credit building credit cards that do just that, build credit. The two most critical aspects of building credit are not missing payments and having a low credit utilization. Maintaining a zero balance on a credit card is also vital for improving credit scores. In other words, as soon as you make a purchase with your credit card, you must pay for that purchase within the same day or at the latest the next day. Once a month, credit bureaus such as Transunion or Equifax take a snapshot of your credit score. In order to build credit, you should never spend more than 30% of your credit limit. You should also make the payments the very next day. This will ensure that when the credit bureau records your credit usage for the month, it is at the lowest possible level, never exceeding 30% of your credit limit. Your credit score will increase rapidly by using this technique and before you know it, you'll have your desired credit score. An established credit history also boosts credit scores. To prove to credit bureaus that you are in it for the long haul, it's imperative to establish trustworthiness. Having a long credit history and keeping a low credit utilization will dramatically improve your credit score. When there is proof of timely repayments and a long credit history, credit scores will be at peak. Following these simple rules will without a doubt increase anyone's credit score.

What can a mortgage broker provide?
The benefit of working with a mortgage broker is: For clients who are prequalified at banks, we are able to get them even lower rates than most banks offer through our expertise and ability to shop around and through the relationships we have built with banks and private lenders over time. A network of traditional and private lenders allows us to offer our clients a variety of mortgage products. A mortgage broker has access to a variety of mortgage products compared to banks that only offer a limited number of programs only specific to one bank. Using a mortgage agent/broker also reduces the client's mortgage-related fees. Aside from these important facts and issues a mortgage broker can make the whole scenario, which is often a stressful one a whole lot easier and stress-free for the client. Mortgage agents handle all of the legal aspects involved with mortgages and always have the client's best interest at heart. A mortgage agent's reputation lies in the hands of the client. The mortgage agents and brokers at Toronto Private Mortgage offer insight and expertise in all areas so the client can have a memorable experience and tell our story for years to come. We believe the most important aspect in acquiring clients should be based on past client experiences and a word-of-mouth referral. That is the key to building solid friendships. We will guide you through the entire application and underwriting process and work closely with all parties involved. To ensure the mortgage closes on time, it is important to stay connected and communicate with the underwriter, real estate agent and lawyers involved. Over- communication is key to making sure all the right information is obtained and executed in order to close on time. |
When do I need a private mortgage?
If you have a credit score below 600, you are more likely to turn to private lenders more so than to banks or B-lenders. Lenders use your credit score to check what shape your financial health is in. A good credit score will qualify you for most mortgages. As long as the loan amount is secured by a property or land, private lenders rarely ask for credit scores or proof of employment. The majority of people turn to private lenders as a last resort when they are trying to secure a property. Private lenders are becoming a more popular option for homeowners and for real estate in general. Since 2019, private lending has grown by 37% year-over-year to $48billion according to Statistics Canada. Private mortgage lenders are usually more interested in how much equity exists in a home than what your credit score might be. Once approved and funded by a private lender, it's vital to make your mortgage payments on time to increase your credit score so that you can qualify for a bank loan or a B-Lender a short time after. Private mortgage lenders have the ability to report you to credit bureaus such as Equifax or Transunion if you were to stop making your mortgage payments. Following a regular payment schedule and increasing your credit score will lead to being qualified by a bank with a much lower rate. |
