In Ontario, bad credit mortgages help borrowers turned down by conventional lenders.

A single financial mistake can ruin your credit and cause lenders to turn you down when you decide it’s time to apply for a home loan. However, that doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of renting. In Ontario, bad credit mortgages can help. What should you know about these types of loans?

First, you won’t be able to apply for a bad credit mortgage through a conventional lender. While they offer low interest rates, banks are very risk averse, and they’ll do everything possible to insulate themselves from it. That includes denying you a loan. In Ontario, bad credit mortgages can be found through private lenders and nontraditional financial organizations. These lenders are willing to take on the additional risk in exchange for higher interest on the loan.

As you pay down the mortgage, your credit score improves. By the time you’ve paid off the loan, which is generally within a year or two to keep your costs down, you will be a more attractive borrower for banks, allowing you to get a better rate.
