Private lending’s post-pandemic future CMP checked in with two industry executives to find out whether the private lending sector can continue to ride the wave of 2020 – and what brokers should be aware of in the future TO SAY 2020 was a roller-coaster year for private lending might be putting it too mildly. When the pandemic struck, many brokers braced themselves for a market meltdown and economic collapse. Instead, the opposite transpired: Home sales – and prices – began an extraordinary climb as the mortgage market took off, shattering existing records amid a boom that showed no sign of stopping. Private lending saw some of the most dramatic changes. The initial reduction in demand and liquidity at the beginning of the pandemic caused many traditional lenders to change their lending requirements, leading scores of borrowers to turn to private lenders and mortgage investment corporations (MICs) for the first time. Now, as attention turns to Canada’s postpandemic recovery, there’s also a strong focus on whether 2021 will see the same stunning success for private lenders that the previous year brought, or if it will feature an inevitable cooling off in the market. For Bryan Jaskolka, chief operating officer at CMI Financial Group, the outlook appears positive for the foreseeable future. “The private market today is more robust than the pre-COVID market, and that’s saying a lot, given that the pre-COVID market was already incredibly strong,” he says. “We’ve seen a surge in demand.” Jaskolka notes that the numbers of Canadians who turned to private lending over the past year bodes well for the sector. “There are a lot of high-quality borrowers who have equity and have down payments but are just shut out of that traditional
“With a lot of new entrants and a real institutionalization of the alternative space, it’s definitely worth shopping around and seeing what else is out there” Taylor Little, Neighbourhood Holdings banking system,” he says. Still, Taylor Little, CEO of Vancouverbased alternative lender Neighbourhood Holdings, says brokers should be wary of some possible hurdles in the private and alternative space in the year ahead. One of
the most significant, he says, is that not all lenders will have access to equal amounts of cash – a potential headache for brokers and borrowers if their lending partners can’t raise enough capital. “One thing you always need to look out

for as a mortgage broker in working with alternative lenders is: Do they have funds?” he says, adding that Neighbourhood has secured a hefty backlog of commitments from investors that will allow it to facilitate whatever new business comes its way. That problem could be amplified if private and alternative lenders’ profit margins remain thin due to low interest rates, Little adds. “Things are getting very tight, for sure,” he says. “We’re seeing rates fall below 6% in some cases, which is, for non-bank lenders, pretty low.” With the prospect of increased competition in the alternative and private lending space, Little encourages brokers to dig a little deeper to find the best possible deal. “With a lot of new entrants and a real institutionalization of the alternative space, it’s definitely worth shopping around and
seeing what else is out there,” he says, “because lots of lenders are bidding on lots of business. Trying to capture some of that for your client at an attractive rate might involve a bit more detective work to figure out who’s offering what, and when.” Little also highlights the fact that the exodus of Canadians from larger cities, which led to a boon for secondary and tertiary real estate markets, might end as the pandemic abates – and the consequences for private lenders could be significant. “If we find, two years from now, that a lot of people regret moving away from the city and are looking to sell their homes in smaller centres, that’ll be hard for lenders,” he says. However, given its strong performance last year, Jaskolka believes brokers who don’t take the time to familiarize themselves with the private lending space are missing out. “If they’re not dealing with a lender who

has a digital platform, they’re wasting their time,” he says. “Same goes if they’re using a lender that doesn’t provide a multitude of products, offer various price points or serve all of the country’s biggest housing markets. The less a single lender does, the more separate relationships a broker will need to maintain. That’s unnecessary – it just makes more work for the broker.” For brokers unfamiliar with the private lending space, Jaskolka warns against bearing some common misconceptions. “It still sort of shocks me how many mortgage agents automatically assume a private mortgage is for someone who has bad credit,” he says. “We lend to many borrowers who have 600, 700, 800 Beacon scores. A lot of ‘A’ borrowers benefit from alternative financing from time to time. Just knowing that will help brokers strengthen the options they can provide their customers.”

PRIVATE LENDING GUIDE
Paving the way Transforming from a family-owned brokerage to Canada’s premier private lender, CMI is aiming to set the standard for the broker-lender relationship
FUELLED BY innovation and a reputation for transparent, ethical lending, CMI Financial Group has experienced explosive growth in the 15 years since its founding. Evolving over time to anticipate the changing needs of the marketplace, the firm has cemented its leadership status in the alternative lending and investment space. It was a steady but long rise to the top, according to CMI COO Bryan Jaskolka. “We’re exceptionally proud of the leadership position we’ve carved out, but we actually have very humble roots,” he says. Humble and dramatic, as it turns out. Were it not for an accident that nearly ended his life, Jaskolka might never have conceived the idea for the company that would eventually become a national leader. “I was three years into university, and I suddenly found myself confined to a bed, recovering from life-threatening injuries,” he says. Unable to attend classes, Jaskolka shifted gears from education to innovation, something he was no stranger to. A self-described serial entrepreneur, he had started his first business, a web design and development company, at age 16. Once the websites were built, his customers needed somewhere to host them. With time to revisit this need during his recovery, Jaskolka developed and launched Nevidia, a website hosting company. He later sold it to a major American company, which freed up his time to pursue new opportunities. As the son of a real estate veteran, Jaskolka was no stranger to the mort-
gage industry, which, at that time, was predominantly operating under a bricksand-mortar model. Given his tech background, Jaskolka identified an opportunity to build a predominantly online mortgage brokerage, which he believed would make the industry more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “I had this vision of providing financial solutions to disadvantaged consumers from the comfort of their own home – and without chopping down a forest to do it,” he says. And so the seeds of CMI were sown, taking root as a small, family-run mortgage brokerage in the basement of Jaskolka’s childhood home.
The brokerage quickly grew, but the 2009 financial crisis took a toll on the mortgage industry, and CMI was not immune to its impact. As the company shrank and lost most of its original staff, Jaskolka realized it had to evolve or face extinction. With many lenders exiting the subprime market, the need for highquality private mortgage products became apparent, and Jaskolka saw the opportunity to reinvent CMI as a lender. “I didn’t want to simply reinvent the business; I wanted to reimagine the entire industry business model,” he says. Jaskolka worked tirelessly to design custom software that would make the

lending process simple and green, and his efforts gave rise to CMI Mortgage Investments (originally Canadian Lending Inc.), a fintech-oriented private lender backed by game-changing proprietary technology that enables a fast, seamless lending process for investors, brokers and borrowers alike. “The lessons of 2009 were not easy ones,” Jaskolka says. “They brought me back to the vision that sparked the origin of CMI – to allow disadvantaged homeowners access to liberalized lending in a professional, courteous, fair and ethical manner. There was a big gap in the market, and CMI stepped in to fill it.” From there, it was a domino effect. CMI Mortgage Investments grew so quickly it required its own mortgage administra-
write, service and fund mortgages, ensuring a seamless mortgage lending and investment experience. But you won’t find its logo at the top of an office tower. Staff operate almost completely virtually through formalized telecommuting arrangements. This flexible virtual work environment has been another key contributor to the company’s rapid growth and expansion. CMI’s trajectory appears to be headed only upwards. According to recent data from Statistics Canada, the value of all non-bank mortgage loans grew by an astonishing 924% between 2007 and 2018 – and that was before COVID-19. Like fuel on a fire, the global health pandemic has significantly accelerated the need for high-quality private lending solutions.
“Our genesis as a brokerage has been pivotal to our growth. It’s a key reason we’ve become a preferred partner within the broker community” Bryan Jaskolka, CMI tion service, giving rise to CMI Mortgage Services (originally Canadian Servicing Inc.) and allowing the lender to offer a fullcycle private mortgage experience, from origination to discharge. Looking back on the past 15 years, Jaskolka credits the firm’s brokerage roots as one of the keys to its success. “Our genesis as a brokerage has been pivotal to our growth,” he says. “We understand the business firsthand, and that has informed everything from our product offerings and technology platforms to our submission and underwriting processes. It’s a key reason we’ve become a preferred partner within the broker community. We understand how to relate to brokers because we used to be one.” Today, CMI includes four sister brands that work collectively to originate, under-
With a large proportion of the Canadian workforce displaced, many people have turned to the gig economy for income. These have become practical, necessary and lucrative employment opportunities, but they’re still considered non-traditional income sources by banks and fall outside of B-20 regulations. This creates a new challenge for homeowners and buyers looking to qualify for mortgage financing, resulting in greater numbers of Canadians looking to brokers for guidance. “Mortgage brokers need to be ready to serve this growing yet underserved segment of borrowers,” Jaskolka says. “It’s never been more important for them to have a solid understanding of private lending fundamentals.” And while the private lending space has evolved over the years from a largely
ABOUT BRYAN JASKOLKA Bryan Jaskolka has been the managing executive and visionary behind CMI Financial Group since its inception in 2005. Under his leadership, CMI has grown from a family-owned brokerage to Canada’s premier private mortgage lender and one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada, ranking on the Canadian Business Growth List for several years and on The Globe and Mail’s Top Growing Companies list in 2020. CMI was also in the top two for Small Business of the Year at the Canadian SME National Business Awards in 2019. Through its flagship Canadian Mortgages Inc. brand, the lender provides its mortgage broker partners with access to creative financing solutions and more than $1 billion in non-bank private mortgage funds. Jaskolka has been recognized as a key contributor and driving force within the Canadian private lending and mortgage financing industries. He was named a Top Executive in Lending in 2019 by the Canadian Lenders Association, and he is also a CMBA committee member. Having never received a university degree, Jaskolka joins a long list of successful entrepreneurs who prove that there are many roads to success. His unorthodox thinking, natural business savvy and willingness to take calculated risks have made CMI a success. unregulated marketplace into a highly professional domain, Jaskolka cautions that not all private lenders are created equal. “Brokers need to understand how to best help their clients and how to avoid predatory lenders trying to take advantage of this situation,” he says. “The more they understand, the better they will be able to help serve and protect their clients.” Taking a closer look at CMI might be a good place to start.
