Bruised Credit Not A Problem

Borrowers with bruised credit can qualify for this alternative mortgage solution as long as they have reasonable explanations and recourse for improving their credit score going forward.

Higher Overall Interest Amount

What To Know About 40-Year Amortization Mortgage in Richmond Hill

For borrowers looking to increase their borrowing power, alternative lenders offer loans with extended amortization periods of up to 40 years. It allows borrowers to afford higher purchase prices with the same down payment or make lower monthly payments.

40-Year Amortization Mortgage Is Not a Myth in Ontario

The amortization period is the time it takes to pay off the principal of a single mortgage plus interest. A longer amortization period means borrowers have more time to pay off the loan, which lowers the monthly mortgage amount and makes paying the mortgage more affordable.


The downside of having an extended amortization period is borrowers are paying more in interest by the end of the amortization period.


Most borrowers take advantage of the 40-year amortization to lower the principal plus interest portion every month and accumulate the extra cash flow each month to prepay the principal balance yearly as a lump sum prepayment. Over time, they can effectively pay off the principal balance faster than if they were to sign up with a shorter amortization period of 25 years or 30 years.

 

Borrowers can qualify for a 40-year amortization mortgage from alternative mortgage lenders in Ontario. It is possible even after the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has shortened the maximum amortization period to 25 years for federally-regulated financial institutions since June 2012.
 

These alternative lenders offer solutions to borrowers looking to increase borrowing power through extended amortization of up to 40 years. These alternative mortgage solutions are accessible through your local mortgage brokers in Ontario.

As a first time home buyer I was very nervous about buying a home. The professional staff at Matrix Mortgage Global took the time to answer my questions even after hours. I was very pleased with the service and how I was treated.

I'm a self-employed cab driver. I was devastated when my bank, with whom I've been banking with for years turned me down for a mortgage. My business is mainly cash, and I didn't meet the bank's criteria for proving my income. I found Matrix Mortgage Global online and decided to give them a call. I was surprised that I got approved. I thought that if my bank turned me down everyone would. Thanks!
