Are you a prospective homeowner looking to obtain a qualified mortgage outside the Canadian bank? You may consider hiring an Ontario private lender to assist you in financing your next property.
What is a Private Mortgage?
There are many reasons as to why a home-buyer may acquire the support of a private lender to purchase property. Those who are denied financial support from banks or are unable to qualify for low-interest rates voluntary seek this form of assistance. From financing home renovations to paying off long-standing credit card debt, the added stability helps individuals tend to current financial hardships.
As a real estate investor, private lenders assist in providing you with monetary potential in the form of a registered loan. They are effective in analyzing market value and determining whether a property has long-term potential or uncertain debt. Metrics such as Loan to Value (LTV) ratio, are used to help private lenders determine the profit value of a property investment for either the lender or homeowner. Secured under the Ontario Mortgage Act, professional lenders are able to offer these advancements regardless of your current credit standing. This becomes a service of relief to homeowners with lower credit ratings. The option to apply for a private mortgage, is often accompanied by higher interest rates, however, there are ways to lower this based on your ownership criteria.
How do you Mitigate Risks?
Applying for a private mortgage removes the protection and support from a bank and requires you to seek strategies to mitigate associated risks. Seeking legal counsel is integral to understanding all aspects of private lending and to also ensure your rights as a buyer are protected. Homeowners who seek guidance from a qualified real estate lawyer are more likely to mitigate risks associated with private mortgages.
