Private lending, refined.
DV Capital Corporation is a Toronto-based private mortgage lender serving homeowners, real estate investors, builders and developers throughout Ontario. With decades of experience originating, underwriting and funding thousands of mortgage transactions, DV Capital brings extensive knowledge of private mortgage lending, diverse property types, complex borrower circumstances and time-sensitive financing requirements.
DV Capital was founded by its principal after more than a decade of experience at one of Canada’s most prominent family-founded residential mortgage investment corporations. Other members of the same family, including one of the MIC’s founders, later joined DV Capital, bringing well over four decades of combined private mortgage origination, underwriting and lending experience to DV Capital.
Its vision is simple: to combine institutional-level mortgage expertise and disciplined underwriting with the agility, accessibility and responsiveness of an independent boutique private mortgage firm.
Why DV Capital?
DV Capital has earned a strong reputation as an established private mortgage lender within Ontario’s private mortgage market and a trusted source of private capital for homeowners, real estate investors, builders, developers and mortgage professionals alike.
Our reputation has been built through decades of combined experience, disciplined underwriting, responsive communication and the ability to assess and execute a wide range of private mortgage transactions. From straightforward residential refinances to complex commercial, construction, land and time-sensitive financing situations, DV Capital approaches each request with a practical, asset-focused mindset.
Rather than relying solely on a conventional lending checklist, we take the time to understand the real estate, the circumstances and the story behind each transaction. That combination of institutional-level mortgage experience and independent decision-making allows DV Capital to provide the accessibility and agility of a boutique private lender without sacrificing discipline or execution.
Our focus remains straightforward: thoughtful structuring, responsive client care, well-structured private mortgage solutions and dependable execution from initial review through funding.
For Mortgage Professionals.

We value the relationships we build with our broker partners and are known for responsive communication, practical underwriting and efficient turnaround times.

Private Mortgage Advisory.
DV Capital provides experienced, hands-on guidance to homeowners, real estate investors, builders and developers navigating private mortgage financing throughout Ontario. Our advisory approach is rooted in decades of private mortgage origination, underwriting and lending experience, allowing us to assess financing requirements from the perspective of both the borrower and the lender.
We work closely with clients to understand the real estate, existing financing, timing, objectives and circumstances surrounding each request. From there, we provide practical guidance on private mortgage structure, loan-to-value, interest rates, costs, available equity, repayment strategy, material risks and other relevant considerations. Our objective is to help clients make informed decisions and understand what is required to move a financing request forward efficiently.
Whether the requirement involves a residential refinance, acquisition, bridge loan, construction project, commercial property, land financing, debt consolidation, power of sale, CRA or HST arrears or another complex or time-sensitive situation, DV Capital provides clear, disciplined guidance throughout the private mortgage process.
Our role extends beyond simply providing capital. We aim to help clients understand the financing, structure it appropriately and move from initial review through funding with clarity, responsiveness and confidence.
