Private Mortgage Solution for Borrowers with High-Interest Loans

With mortgages from private lenders, the mortgage payments are amortized and made into equal monthly payments of Principal & Interest. This allows borrowers to make sure the monthly mortgage payments are affordable each month and they are on track to be debt-free by the end of the amortization period.

Private lenders are an ideal option since they are not tied to the same lending guidelines as traditional lenders which is limiting. Unlike bank loans, private lenders focus more on the value of the property and the borrower’s exit strategy to determine the terms of the loan. This means that they will not make any preconditions on the borrower’s credit score or debt to income ratio.

A big advantage of hard money lending is that you can beat traditional lenders’ interest rates and timeframes. While traditional banks are known for their long loan terms, hard money loans can close in just days or weeks. This is important in time-sensitive situations, such as paying off high-interest loans. Getting a mortgage loan approved faster helps you resolve your personal situation faster and avoid delays.

Origination fee can also be referred to as “commitment fee”, or any other name. It usually refers to the underwriting or processing fee. This fee can cover a variety of expenses, from processing the loan to underwriting the loan. The amount of this fee depends on the lender and the type of mortgage loan. It is always stipulated in writing so there is no bad surprise to the borrowers on the closing day. If you are not sure how much you are paying for your origination fee, it is a sign that you are not working with an ethical private lender. Be aware and find other private lenders who are transparent with their origination fees.

At Canadian Private Mortgage, we disclose our commitment fee clearly in writing from the beginning of the process.
