How soon do you need financing?

By submitting, you consent to HB Mortgage Centre contacting you by phone, text, or email about mortgage options. Your information is encrypted and will never be sold.

Banks say no for reasons that have nothing to do with your equity.

Banks approve mortgages using strict formulas. If your situation falls outside those rules, you may be declined even if you own a valuable home with significant equity.

Self-Employment Income

You earn well. But after write-offs, the bank sees a fraction of your real income — and says no.

Credit Challenges

Missed payments, collections, consumer proposals, or past financial setbacks can affect your approval with traditional lenders.

Mortgage Renewal Declines

Many homeowners are being declined at renewal because lending rules have tightened and affordability calculations have changed.

High Debt Levels

Credit cards, personal loans, CRA balances, and other debts can push your ratios beyond what banks allow.

Lender Equity Caps

Most private lenders cap at 65–70% of your home's value. We work with lenders who go higher — meaning more funds available to solve your situation.

Your equity is still working for you. We just help you use it.

Your equity doesn't care what the bank decided.

Banks grade you on income and credit. Private lenders look at what you've actually built — the equity in your home. That changes everything.

Each situation is reviewed individually by a licensed mortgage professional.

You may still qualify if:

You own property in Ontario

Your home has available equity

You need a bridge — not a permanent fix

The bank said no — but your home equity didn't

From inquiry to funded — here's exactly what happens.

Clear Costs. No Surprises.

Private mortgages are short-term financing solutions designed to solve temporary lending challenges when traditional lenders cannot approve a mortgage.

Our role is to make sure you understand the structure before making any decision, not pressure you into one.

Before any financing proceeds, we clearly explain:

  • Interest rate
  • Lender fees
  • Brokerage fees
  • Legal costs
  • Appraisal requirements
  • Total estimated cost

The Questions Everyone Asks

If you own property in Ontario with available equity, you may qualify — even if a bank declined you due to income, credit score, or debt ratios. Private lenders assess your property value and available equity, not just your financial profile on paper. Each situation is reviewed individually by a licensed broker.
