Looking For Investors For Second Mortgages

 

I have clients that NEED second mortgages from time to time.  Instead of farming this out, I'd like to pass this along to my clients.

You can lend this money out via RRSP's, line of credits, cash etc.

Rates are in the 10% to 12% range on average.

Mortgage amount is usually $50k minimum.  I've personally never seen anything lower (as of yet).

Email me back and I will add you to my second mortgage investor list.  

When ever I get a second mortgage deal, I will email out the details.



The Problem With A $2,000,000 Mortgage For Your Principal Residence

 

For people on the West Side, West Van and parts of North Van, having a $2,000,000 mortgage is almost normal. 

Generally speaking it's "easy" to get a $2,000,000 mortgage for their principal residence.  There are self employed equity programs that can address these types of mortgage amounts.  

The problems occur when they want to purchase a $1,000,000 rental or in some situations $3,000,000 rentals......now that I'm thinking about it, I had one client purchase a $4,000,000 rental last year.

The problem is they have to qualify not only for the new $1,000,000/$2,000,000/$4,000,000 rental, but also re qualify for their current $2,000,000 mortgage.  

In 90% of the situations, this kills the deal instantly.

Is there a way around this?

Yes and it all comes down to planning your financials around the exact property types you want to purchase.   

Who can do this?

People who own businesses and run everything through corporations.



Hanging Out With Amrit Sekhon (Prospera Credit Union Commercial) and Krista Klein (my sister and mortgage broker) on the Roof of Hycroft Manor

 

Instead of meeting at Starbucks, Krista likes to have meetings @Hycroft Manor.  For those who have never heard of Hycroft, it's a Shaughnessy Mansion owned by The University Womens Club.   I believe they bought the place in the 1960's for $30,000.....Not a bad deal.

We got to go through the "workers quarters" that lead to the roof, where this picture was taken.  Pretty amazing view of Vancouver from here. 

So what were we talking about with Amrit from Prospera?

1. What type of commercial properties Prospera is into at the moment.  
2. Three live mortgages we were working on 
3. Commercial financing structures on residential properties

Overall, the financing game is changing for people who buy properties in Vancouver. As a mortgage broker I can no longer go to residential lending channels to get multiple large mortgages done.

Turns out I can get them done commercially :).



Extreme Biking Video

 

Little Rob Bike Video

The screen shot I took is blurry, the video is not.

Little Rob favorite toy is his bike.  Here is a video of him cutting into two corners at a decent speed.   This is fairly crazy for someone who is not even 2!



Easter Events in the Lower Mainland

 

Happy Easter! If you are wondering how to spend the long weekend, here is a list of Easter Events near you. Check them out here: Easter Events

On a side note, I used to have a bunny named Whiskers that looked exactly like this.  I had him from age 5 to first year university.
