Gap Funding Lenders for Real Estate in Toronto, Oakville & GTA
We define Gap financing as a non-traditional lending solution, when the client purchases a property and has not sold their existing home and cannot qualify to carry both mortgages. This is different than a bridge loan, in which the client has sold their home and the closing date of the sold home is after the purchase. Most lenders offer bridge loan solutions but not many offer "Gap Financing Solutions." The reason is most lender have to follow debt servicing ratios and consider the ability for the client to repay both mortgages which is not always easy. Even though, carrying both mortgages is for a short period of time, the lender still may not be able to create a solution and the clients, realtor and even lawyer can be looking for a temporary solution. Our team takes a top down approach and have many unique ways of creating a solution in this circumstance both at the bank level and if needed in the private lending space. Based on the complex nature of structuring these loans, we recommend connecting with our team to discuss your specific scenario and know that we will take a top down approach to find the most cost efficient solution.
