Private Mortgage Lenders in the GTA
Private Lending has become a popular topic but hopefully not for the wrong reasons. Private lending can be a lucrative investment strategy and a very necessary lending option if presented properly to all parties. Most private lending we see involves strong exist strategies. Clients purchasing land which is difficult from a major financial institution, along with construction financing equally as difficult to obtain from a major financial institution. The exist becomes the sale of the property when being built on spec or a bank, monoline lender or credit union taking out the private loan when the construction is complete.
We also see files that require private financing for gap lending solutions, homes being sold but have not at lower loan to values and for certain luxury real estate transactions that prefer a combination of debt and equity to purchase the real estate.
Private lending has a place in real estate, it just has to be handled with care and proper disclosure so all parties understand the terms and conditions and the ability to pay off and the ideal exist strategy.
