Our borrower sought a modest second mortgage to alleviate debts incurred while supporting her grandson's pursuit of a hockey career at a prestigious US college. While managing consumer debt, she chose to prioritize timely bill payments over property taxes for the past two years, opting to maintain financial stability.
Retired with pensions and government benefits, she initially considered refinancing into a single mortgage. However, recognizing the cost-effectiveness of her existing low-rate first mortgage, she opted for a six-month second mortgage, facilitating a timely transition to downsizing her current residence. With plans to sell and downsize within this timeframe, she aims for a smoother financial transition.
We provided a conservative second mortgage at less than 50% loan-to-value ratio, with held back payments, ensuring minimal stress during this period of change. Her financial metrics remain favorable, with consistent payment history and manageable ratios. Despite an average credit score attributed to utilization rather than payment history, she has ample resources to clear outstanding debts and secure a deposit for her next home.

The borrowers have had a rough couple of years. They had to take care of a sick family member and deal with some health issues that made their income drop. With their expenses going up and their income going down, they had to work out a plan to pay off their debts in a way they could manage. The borrowers came to the conclusion that a consumer proposal was their best choice. They finished paying it off two years ago and have been doing a good job rebuilding their credit since then.
Right now, the wife is working part-time but hopes to be back to full-time work in the next three months. They just finished fixing up their house to sell it and move to a smaller place. They used their credit cards and savings to pay for the renovations. Thinking she'd be back to work full-time by now, the plan was to get a loan from the bank to pay off what they owed and put money back into their savings. However, because she isn’t back to work full time yet, they don’t qualify for the loan they need.
Since they can't get a loan from the bank right now, we gave them a loan that's less than 55% of their home’s value. They're planning to sell the house as soon as possible and move into a smaller place that's easier to manage. We made it so they don't have to make payments on the loan until it's paid off, so they can focus on the wife's health and getting the house ready to sell. If they haven't sold it in three months, they'll try to get a loan from the bank because she should be back to full-time work by then.

Since 2017, this borrower has been running a small business in Vancouver. When Covid-19 hit, she had to close temporarily, and it was tough because she wasn't making any money but still had to pay bills. Even though she faced a lot of debt, she didn't give up. She worked hard to reopen her business after the lockdown and started paying off what she owed. But the high interest rates on her loans were making it difficult.
Her plan is to first pay off all her debts, so she doesn't have to worry about high interest anymore. Then, she wants to put money back into her business to make it grow. She has good credit history and lots of equity in the property, so we gave her a one year loan to give her time to get her business back to maximum revenue.
By the end of the year, she hopes to either get a better loan from a bank or move to a smaller place without a mortgage.

Our borrowers attempted a business venture two years ago, which unfortunately did not succeed, resulting in accumulated debt. They have since decided to close the business and are now focused on settling their financial obligations.
Borrower 1 is currently employed in the food service industry while looking for work in his field. Borrower 2 is on maternity leave but will return to her previous job at a dental office within a year.
Their credit score is lower, but only due to credit utilization, they have always paid their debts on time. Once the debts are paid off from this loan, the credit score should improve considerably. Upon the borrower's return to full-time employment in his previous field, at a higher pay, they anticipate securing a new loan from a traditional financial institution to settle our loan.
We are offering them a one-year loan term with deferred payments, providing them with the necessary time to transition into more stable employment and secure refinancing.

Owner Profile
Our borrowers were looking to expand their investment portfolio, so they purchased a condominium with intentions to utilize it as a rental property. They currently co-own a single-family home, which is also a rental, because they are personally renting an apartment in Canmore to be closer to their new business. Because they recently purchased a business in Canmore, they did not have the required documents to qualify for traditional bank financing right away.
We offered the borrowers a loan that blankets both the new condo purchase and their existing single family home, giving us a loan-to-value ratio of under 60%. The business was already profitable prior to their ownership, and this trend has continued since their acquisition. The restaurant, a well-established dining destination in the area, further bolsters their financial prospects, instilling confidence in their ability to secure financing within the year.
With excellent credit, the borrowers are well-positioned to qualify for financing with an alternative lender before the end of the term of their loan.

Owner Profile
The borrower is an elderly woman who owns two properties in Canmore on main street with lots of equity. It is a prime real estate location that allows up to 26 units to be built on them. She is currently overseeing the final arrangements of her brother's estate who passed away just after she finished finalizing her husbands estate. She would like to stay in the home she has lived in for almost 50 years until the estate is all settled and she can decide where she wants to move to next. Given the significant appreciation in property values, she is optimistic about the continued upward trajectory of the market. Despite acknowledging the substantial outlay in rates and fees, she firmly believes that the appreciation in property values has more than offset these expenses, positioning her well ahead of where she would be if she had sold in the past few years. While the homes themselves are older, they are well maintained. However, builders will find these two parcels very appealing for the significant number of units allowed to be built on them. We held back 12 months of payments from the loan so the borrower can collect rent from the one unit, plus her pension, which more than covers her monthly obligations without having to worry about this mortgage payment.
