A private mortgage in Ontario is a loan secured against your property and funded by a private lender rather than a bank or credit union. Private lenders are individuals or companies that make lending decisions based primarily on the value and equity of your home, rather than relying solely on credit scores, employment history, or income documentation.
This makes private mortgages an important option for homeowners who have been declined by traditional lenders due to bruised credit, self-employment income, recent life changes like divorce or job loss, or simply because their financial situation does not fit inside a bank’s rigid approval criteria.
Private mortgages in Ontario are typically short-term solutions, designed to give homeowners breathing room to stabilize their finances, consolidate debt, or bridge a gap until they can qualify for conventional financing again.
Private lenders in Ontario focus on the value of your property and the equity available, not just a number on a credit report. If you own a home with available equity, there is a strong chance a private mortgage solution exists for your situation.
