Private Mortgage across Ontario

Private lending is not meant to be permanent. We use it when the asset, timeline, or exit plan makes sense and when traditional lenders cannot move fast enough.

Ontario mortgage review with Open Financial

Your file needs speed, flexibility, or a short-term bridge outside standard bank rules.

Licensed broker review with no hard credit check at the first-pass stage.

Built for private files across Ontario

This page is focused on Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Kitchener-Waterloo, Durham. The first review is designed to separate lower-cost institutional options from files that need alternative or private packaging.

Bank or B-lender decline but strong property equity

Power of sale, arrears, tax debt, or urgent closing pressure

Short-term bridge with a clear refinance, sale, or payout plan

How we route the file

A good mortgage file can still land with the wrong lender if the story is unclear. We organize the important facts before shopping it around.

Local context

Ontario files vary widely by property type, borrower profile, and lender appetite. The goal is to identify the lender lane before the application becomes noisy.

1

Prioritize loan-to-value, property type, location, and exit strategy

2

Separate urgent private options from files that can still be saved with an institutional lender

3

Review total cost, fees, renewal risk, and realistic pay-out timing

Suitability and exit plan

Mortgage strategy should match the borrower, property, timeline, and cost. The first pass is about finding the right lane before a lender application is pushed too far.

Private lending is normally a short-term tool, not a permanent mortgage plan.

The review should include total cost, fees, renewal risk, and a realistic exit strategy.

Approval still depends on property, title, equity, timing, and the borrower's ability to carry the plan.

Private questions

These are first-pass answers. Final lender fit depends on the property, borrower profile, documents, and timing.

Is a private mortgage based only on equity?
Equity matters most, but the lender still reviews property location, title, taxes, mortgage position, and the exit plan.
How fast can private lending close?
Straightforward files can move quickly, but timing depends on valuation, title review, payout statements, and lawyer readiness.
What is the exit plan?
It is the plan to pay out the private mortgage, usually through sale, refinance, income seasoning, credit repair, or project completion.
