what is a Private Mortgage?

Residential, Commercial, Land & Construction Loans.

A private mortgage is a mortgage that is funded by a mortgage lender other than a bank, credit union or trust company. A private mortgage can be used to assist with the purchase, refinance or construction of a residential, commercial, industrial property, as well as land and purpose built real estate assets. For existing real estate owners, a private mortgage can assist you access equity or refinance or replace an existing mortgage if traditional or alternative mortgage financing isn’t a preset option. Private mortgage financing may be useful for homeowners, real estate investors and builders by allowing them access to financing options for various purposes, particularly when traditional or alternative mortgage financing is not possible or practical, especially if the borrowing requirement falls outside of the rigid underwriting standards and lending policies of traditional mortgage lenders. Private mortgage lenders self-prescribe their own underwriting and lending guidelines and usually help approve mortgage requests that are turned down elsewhere. 

When Is a Private Mortgage Required?

Fast & Flexible Private mortgage loans.

In Canada, traditional mortgage lenders that must operate under rigid government prescribed mortgage underwriting guidelines and policies, including, in most cases, the ‘mortgage stress-test’, which requires borrowers to prove that they can qualify for an interest rate that is actually higher than the actual mortgage contract. Private mortgage lenders play a very important role in the Canadian real estate market, a real estate market that continues to under-service the needs of many who are new to Canada, self-employed, establishing or rebuilding credit, purchasing, refinancing, building a custom home or accessing equity from real estate that is located in rural or remote locations. We are often approached by to-be and current real estate owners that have been turned down by the very banks that they’ve been banking with for years. DV Capital has underwritten and funded millions of dollars of private mortgages and possess the experience, connections and resources to assist its clients with their private mortgage requirements in Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

1st, 2nd & 3rd Private Mortgages.

A private mortgage is often used as a short term financing facility for homeowners, investors custom home builders, and real estate developers. Therefore typically private mortgage terms range from 6-24 months, usually with the option to extend or renew, at the lenders discretion. Although private mortgages are usually interest-only due to the marginal amount of principal pay-down over a short period of time, amortization options up to 40 years exist, allowing the mortgage to be paid-down. In many cases, DV Capital can provide a ‘no-payment’ mortgage, also referred to as ‘prepaid interest’ or an ‘interest reserve’ by way of prepaying the mortgage payments for a number of months or for the term length. We can also usually customize a mortgage payment by prepaying the difference of the actual payment, and the amount that best suits our clients budget.

Jumbo Mortgage Loans.

Mortgages for $1M - $20M +

A jumbo mortgage loan refers to a large loan amount that is usually unobtainable from traditional mortgage. This is either due to maximum mortgage loan amount policies or the clients inability to qualify for large loan amounts as a result of insufficient documented income as required by traditional lender policies. Traditional mortgage lenders generally limit their total loan size, or implement a ‘sliding scale’ policy whereby the loan amount is reduced as the property value increases over a certain threshold. Other times, naturally, real estate owners are unable to qualify for traditional lending for a large loan amount as a result of the ‘mortgage stress test’. Similarly, real estate owners of income-producing real estate may not be able to debt service the large loan amount they require to traditional lenders standards. Given DV Capital’s large private mortgage network, a jumbo mortgage loan is a relatively easy order, provided sufficient equity, that can potentially assist homeowners, real estate investors and custom home builders. DV Capital can facilitate jumbo mortgage loan financing from $1 million to over $20 million dollars, per transaction, across Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

Through it’s network of private mortgage lenders, DV Capital can provide mortgage approvals for remediated marijuana / cannabis grow operations in Ontario, British Columbia & Nova Scotia.

Rush & Emergency Mortgages.

same Day Mortgage Approvals.

DV Capital understands just how quickly a supposed ‘mortgage pre-approval or mortgage approval’ can turn out to be a misleading and worthless piece of paper. For many years we have witnessed countless cases where individuals relied on ‘pre-approvals’ or ‘conditional approvals’ and entered into purchase agreements or plans to refinance or access equity, that results in an immense waste of time and energy only to find out that ‘approval’ is meaningless. DV Capital specializes in same-day mortgage assessments and emergency rush mortgage approvals for purchases, refinances, equity take outs, and other time sensitive situations including handling mortgage arrears, property tax arrears, CRA issues as well as stopping a power of sale or redeeming a foreclosure.

Missed a Mortgage Payment?

For over a decade we have provided mortgage financing for real estate owners experiencing mortgage arrears.  If you have an existing mortgage(s) that are approaching its maturity date(s) and have had late payments during the term you might not receive a renewal offer. Similarly, if you have had any late payments during the last 6-12 months of your existing mortgage and are planning to refinance to another lender, you might no longer qualify due to late payments, regardless of the reason. Even worse, having one or more late payments on your existing mortgage(s) can lead to a stressful and costly process that could ultimately lead to your real estate being sold under a power of sale or have its title transferred to the mortgage lender under foreclosure proceedings. We can stop mortgage arrears by helping you bring an existing mortgage up to date or replacing a mortgage that is currently in arrears or not being renewed because of current mortgage arrears or missed or late mortgage payments during the term. Ultimately, mortgage arrears can lead to a power of sale or foreclosure which can erode your home equity and lead to your home being sold. DV Capital has immense experience helping real estate owners experiencing mortgage arrears across Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
