Private & alternative mortgages

A complex file deserves
a clear strategy.

Explore private lending for equity-based financing, a time-sensitive need or a more complex income picture. Paul reviews the property, borrowing purpose, costs and a realistic repayment or exit plan.

Private mortgages may involve higher rates, lender and broker fees, shorter terms and renewal risk. Availability depends on the property, equity, borrower circumstances and lender criteria. Approval is not guaranteed.

8Twelve mortgage rates

Your rate matters.
So do the terms.

Visit Paul’s personalized 8Twelve page to review available rate information, then speak with Paul about the rate, payment and conditions that apply to your situation.

FIXED RATE

Plan around a set payment.

A fixed rate stays the same during the mortgage term. Review prepayment privileges, portability and early-break penalties.

VARIABLE RATE

Understand how changes affect you.

A variable rate can move with the lender’s prime rate. Payment behaviour and borrowing costs depend on the product.

Rates are published by 8Twelve and may change without notice. Advertised rates may apply to specific insured/high-ratio products. Your rate depends on qualification, province, property, mortgage purpose, loan-to-value, term, amortization and lender conditions. A posted rate is not an approval or commitment to lend. The calculator’s editable rate is an illustration, not a live rate feed.

Your selected amortization

Move the sliders to compare estimates. Longer amortization generally reduces the payment and increases total interest if the rate stays the same. This chart compares amortizations, not guaranteed mortgage terms.

Illustration only, using Canadian semi-annual compounding for a fixed rate. The rate is a user-editable example, not an offer. Excludes insurance premiums, property taxes and fees. Eligibility and actual payments depend on lender terms.

Good questions. Clear answers.
Is a pre-approval a final approval?

No. A pre-approval helps establish a potential budget. Final approval depends on lender review, the property and all required conditions. Speak with Paul before making an offer without a financing condition.

What if I’m self-employed?

Income review varies by lender and program. Paul can discuss your business history and documentation, including tax returns, notices of assessment and business statements where required.

Should I sign my renewal offer?

Review the rate, payment, penalties, flexibility and switching costs before deciding. Share your maturity date and renewal offer with Paul to begin a comparison.

Are there fees?

The initial consultation is free. Fees may apply to alternative, private or other financing arrangements. Applicable fees and terms must be disclosed before you commit.

Let’s make the next step clear
