FAQ

WHAT IS A HOME EQUITY LOAN / 2ND MORTGAGE?

Many people who have either owned their home for at least a few years, or who have put a significant down payment on their home, will have equity in that home.

As an example, if you own a home worth $350,000 and have a mortgage balance of $250,000, then you have $100,000 worth of equity in your home.

Based on that information alone, you can qualify for a home equity loan / 2nd or 3rd mortgage.

You would be able to access these funds in as little as one day by contacting our office.

HOW CAN A MORTGAGE HELP WITH DEBT CONSOLIDATION?

By taking out a mortgage using the equity in your home, you are able to clear multiple debts / payments and combine them into one smaller, more cost effective payment.

WHY GET A LOAN FOR HOME RENOVATIONS?

A few simple renovations can increase the value of your property substantially. Think of it as an investment in yourself.  A deck, a fence and a new kitchen can add tens of thousands of dollars to your asking price, which in turn puts even more equity in your pocket.
