Private lending or a private home mortgage means getting the financing you need from a private mortgage lender, as opposed to applying to a bank or other financial institution for a loan.

There are advantages and disadvantages to a private mortgage, but the most important thing you should understand is that private lending covers a broad range and can be tailored to each homeowner’s specific needs. Since this is a special type of mortgage or loan, it can be difficult to understand its particularities. If you want to succeed in securing a private loan for your financial needs, you will need guidance and advice from trained specialists. At Rampone-Marsh, we can offer you that guidance, along with convenient offers because we are the best in what we do.

Why would you need the services of
a private mortgage lender?

Most people turn to private lending when they have been refused by the bank for various reasons. The most common reason has a lot to do with bad credit, meaning late payments and a not-so-bright credit history. But there are other reasons why the bank may refuse a loan: the difficulty of the type of loan, the existence of a first mortgage and not enough equity to allow for a second one, etc. Regardless of the reasons, you don’t have to give up just yet. The existence of private lenders may offer people who have been turned down by the bank a second chance.

Of course, there is no guarantee that if the bank turned you down, a private mortgage lender would automatically accept your proposal. And you should know that interest rates for a private mortgage are higher than for a standard one, but they are still lower than the interest rates of a personal loan, let’s say. If your credit history is not very bright, that interest rate may go up. However, private lending still represents a chance for you to fulfill your dreams and not let financial obstacles stand in your way. And if Rampone-Marsh is your private mortgage broker in Kelowna, you have even bigger chances of securing a private mortgage to help you achieve your goal.

a private lender?

Investing in money can turn out to be a very profitable investment if you have the right guidance and expertise. Two of the biggest advantages are that you can decide the exact amount of money you want to invest, and you can also control the return of investment based on the interest rate you agree to charge. While becoming a private lender can be an excellent business idea, you should be aware that there are risks involved and decide from the start how you want to screen your clients. You should have access to their credit history and financial overview and also get to know them and see what type of persons they are.

Applying for a mortgage shouldn’t be hard or confusing,
let’s break this down and make it simple for you!

Why is a mortgage insurance premium necessary?

Regardless of mortgage rates, if a down payment is less than 20% of the home or property value, mortgage insurance is mandatory in Kelowna (and across Canada). Mortgages have built-in insurance premiums, so, therefore, the clients do not pay “out of pocket” for this expense. For mortgage lenders, a down payment of this size is more of a risk, so the mortgage insurance premium acts like a guarantee in the event of a default on the loan.

How long does the mortgage process normally take?

If we are able to get the necessary documentation, we might be able to get an approval in as little as 24 hours. Keep in mind, the longer it takes for us to receive your documents the longer your approval will take to secure. Take a look at our mortgage checklist, for a summary of what you’ll likely need to provide.

What is an appraisal?

A written analysis prepared by a qualified appraiser and estimating the value of a property. The Appraised Value is an opinion of a property’s fair market value, based on an appraiser’s knowledge, experience, and analysis of the property.
