The rise and rise of private lending Following its spectacular performance during the pandemic, private lending is set to continue growing, according to experts in the space WHAT CAN slow the surge of private lending? Not much, it seems – the sector has become an increasingly mainstream option for Canadian borrowers over the past decade, and its growth accelerated significantly at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic as institutional lenders tightened their guidelines and approval wait times ballooned. As another frenzied year in the Canadian housing market draws to a close, mortgage professionals in the private lending sector predict that growth in the space will continue in 2022, particularly as the stream of new entrants – both on the lender and broker sides – shows little sign of slowing down.
“I think we will continue to see an inflow of capital into the private lending space, making it easier for borrowers to find the lender that understands their needs the best” Darren Neziol, Reciprocal Opportunities Inc. Darren Neziol of Brantford, Ontariobased private lender Reciprocal Opportunities Inc. (ROI), says those factors are likely to prove hugely influential in private lending throughout the next 12 months.
“I think we will continue to see an inflow of capital into the private lending space, making it easier for borrowers to look for more options and find the lender that understands their needs best,” he says.

“I believe that a lot of people have realized the ease and flexibility that can come with dealing with private lenders. It’s generally a much more common-sense approach than fitting into the perfect criteria that a bank may need to see; if that flexibility can help borrowers execute quicker, then it’s money in the bank for them.”
Beyond the banks Excitement about a possible post-pandemic emergence in the second half of 2021 proved premature, and Canada remains gripped by a high degree of COVID-19 uncertainty, despite the summer vaccination surge and easing restrictions in most provinces. That reality could have a profound impact on the private lending space, particularly if it means that interest rates stay at their current levels. Christine Xu, president of Moneybroker Canada and Ready Capital Mortgage Investment Trust, who deals almost exclusively in private mortgages, says those rates
are extremely appealing for borrowers considering a private option. She also notes the prevalence of borrowers who can’t meet the income criteria required by major banks and institutional lenders. That has encouraged many borrowers to take out a private mortgage, which typically have more flexible income reporting requirements. “I don’t see institutional lenders truly relaxing too many of their lending guidelines – at A lenders, they always need
to be income-qualified,” Xu says. “With the COVID situation, lots of people have problems with their income because they’re changing jobs, taking lower amounts of money, and self-employed people especially are receiving government assistance. So those who were able to qualify with the A lender, now they’re not qualified anymore, at least in the short term, but the market is so hot. We see a large trend of people seeking alternative financing solutions.”

Shawn Allen, CEO of brokerage and private lender Matrix Mortgage Global, also anticipates that the prominence of private lending solutions will continue in the current market, give that there’s no end in sight to the pandemic. He says clients whose income is still being affected by pandemic restrictions and a lack of foot traffic will need to turn to the private space for funding, as access to institutional lenders will be out of reach. “People aren’t coming into the mall as much now,” Allen explains. “They’re making a lot more online sales, but the sales for online … are not equating to an uptick in retail sales. Those little mom-and-pop shops, those little boutique places in malls and strip plazas – they’re really hurting. These guys aren’t the ones qualifying for mortgages at the banks because they’re not showing that income.” Allen also points out the tendency of institutional lenders to register collateral charges that can impact homeowners’ equity, which could push more Canadians toward the private space. “Imagine as a homeowner, you just renewed your mortgage or had a mortgage prior to COVID, and now you want to access some of the capital in your property – but you can’t, because the bank already ate up your equity as a collateral charge,” he says. “I think that’s another conversation in itself as to consumer awareness [and] the difference between a standard-charge and a collateral-charge mortgage. That ties directly into private mortgages because a lot of people are not getting access to the capital in their home because the banks have taken up that equity.”
Choosing a private lender With an increasing number of brokers choosing to get involved in the private space, Neziol emphasizes the importance of
“A lot of people are not getting access to the capital in their home because the banks have taken up that equity [as a collateral charge]” Shawn Allen, Matrix Mortgage Global
having a robust understanding of its ins and outs to make the deal process as smooth as possible for lenders and borrowers alike. Ensuring full transparency from the get-go – and giving lenders as complete a background as possible on the customer – is an essential component of that. “I would suggest that brokers take their time with a deal to fully understand it and help the lender get the deal done,” Neziol says. “Whenever the full picture is given upfront, it makes the whole process easier and will usually end in a quickly closed deal.” Because private lending has seen an influx of new participants as its popularity
has grown, Neziol also warns brokers to exercise caution and due diligence when choosing a lender for their client. It’s important to ask the right questions and make sure the deal is structured in a way that’s beneficial for both parties, he says. “Brokers and borrowers should be wary of newer, cheaper lenders in the space. Dealing with an experienced lender who has structured successful deals should be paramount for a borrower, as you want to deal with a lender who has a long track record of seeing successful projects through. A good lender will be there to tweak a deal structure to the benefit of both the borrower and lender at the end of the day.”

PRIVATE LENDING GUIDE
The private lending experts Todd Poberznick, vice-president of national sales at Canadian Mortgages Inc., tells CMP how the company is providing brokers with the tools to help borrowers from all walks of life
AS A long-established company with a proven track record in the private lending space, it’s little surprise that Canadian Mortgages Inc. (CMI) prides itself on the range and depth of solutions it offers brokers and their clients. The ability to provide a variety of products for Canadians
who are faced with unique circumstances is one of the company’s strongest selling points, according to Todd Poberznick, CMI’s vice-president of national sales. So is its strong connection to the broker community – something not many other companies in the space can claim.
“CMI started out as a mortgage broker, and while we’ve since evolved into a private lender, we deal with brokers exclusively and know exactly how they think and what they need,” Poberznick says. “That helps us put the deals together and make the experience as easy and seamless

as possible. We strive to deliver the best possible client experience by working collaboratively with our broker partners to structure deals in an optimal way.”
Greater flexibility Poberznick says CMI has an advantage over traditional lenders in its ability to offer solutions for clients who may not meet the often strict criteria they demand. While debt servicing ratios, income, length of employment and a strong Beacon score are essential considerations for borrowers to qualify at many conventional lenders, CMI can offer a flexible alternative that takes other factors into account – ones that are specific to each individual client. “If you’re in a private lending situation, the criteria are much more flexible,” Poberznick explains. “Our risk spectrum is wider, each borrower’s circumstance is unique, and we put a lot of the emphasis on the property.” Not only is that flexibility welcomed by borrowers, but it’s also a real asset to brokers, who can present their clients with a wider range of options than they would get from traditional lenders. “When brokers are looking for solutions for their clients, the private lending space has more flexibility to help them out,” Poberznick says. “For instance, if we can’t meet a borrower’s full funding needs on a first mortgage, we may be able to do a bundle and combine a first and second mortgage together to get borrowers the funds they need.”
A client-centric approach Understanding the individual circumstances of each borrower, Poberznick says, is one of CMI’s foremost priorities. The company is committed to stepping in at the hour of need and providing funding that has been denied elsewhere. “As a private lender, our ability to be more flexible than traditional mortgage providers benefits the borrower tremen-
dously,” he says. “They might be in dire financial circumstances or need to get out of a credit problem, or be in a situation where if they can’t do a debt consolidation, they could face bankruptcy. The story behind why they’re coming to us really matters. If they can explain everything to us, we can take a common-sense approach and work with their broker to put a deal together that fits their unique circumstances.” CMI also offers a range of options for borrowers who need a short-term source of funds – for instance, clients who may be in between jobs and in arrears on their mortgage, or who need to pay a top-up to be able to cover a period of a few months before they can return to full employment. Ultimately, Poberznick says, the goal in these cases is to provide a means for
(and fastest) possible solution for brokers and borrowers. That stands in stark contrast to the often lengthy wait times brokers face when dealing with banks and conventional lenders. “We’ll work with shorter closings,” Poberznick says. “Most brokers and borrowers don’t have the opportunity to secure other financing options if something comes up with a major lender that results in them not being able to fulfill a commitment. If they’re stuck because of that, and if the deal makes sense to us, we’ll help them through their closing so they can continue as planned and not lose money on their transaction.” CMI continually strives to maintain its strong reputation among Canada’s broker community. For Poberznick, it’s
“CMI started out as a mortgage broker ... we deal with brokers exclusively and know exactly how they think and what they need” Todd Poberznick, Canadian Mortgages Inc. borrowers who don’t qualify at the bank to repair their credit and get back on a path to conventional lending solutions. “The goal is not to keep these borrowers in a private mortgage for a long time,” he says. “We want to meet their immediate needs, help them get back on their feet and, down the line, return them to the traditional lending space – and lower borrowing rates.”
Rapid turnarounds For brokers and their clients, CMI’s ability to act immediately to fund deals quickly is one of the company’s key strengths. Poberznick says turnaround times at CMI can be as short as an hour, and the company strives to approve the majority of its deals within a day to provide the best
this proven record of success and the trust the company has built up among brokers during its 15 years in business that differentiates CMI in the industry – and allows it to continue to rise to the challenge of helping Canadians in times of need. “We’ve placed more than $1 billion in mortgages over these 15 years, and we’re well respected in the marketplace as a lending partner – more than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” he says. “It’s presented significant challenges in the lives of so many Canadians; we’ve worked hard to help them out, and we will continue to.” Brokers who wish to work with CMI can contact the company at canadianlending.ca/brokers or info@canadianlending.ca, or speak to their assigned BDO or BRM.
