Standard financing is usually considered when borrowers are acquiring a new property or refinancing an existing one and want longer-term financing with predictable payments.
Bridge financing addresses a borrower’s short-term needs, usually three months to three years.
This short-term financing option enables access to a property’s equity for improvements, renovations or repairs, eliminating the need to raise funds from personal sources.
Second mortgages are often used to access equity in a property when a borrower wants to purchase another asset or renovate/repair a property.
A construction loan helps borrowers manage periodic payments for contract work during the building of a real estate asset.
Economic and political developments – both in Canada and globally – can impact the commercial real estate market. First National experts follow these trends closely and provide honest, real and professional perspectives into what they could mean for your portfolio.
