COVID 19 And Your Mortgage.

Lenders and Insurers are stepping up to help Home Owners. The 3 default insurers which are CMHC, GENWORTH and Canada Guarantee have come to the table to offer deferral of mortgage payments up to 6 months for those who qualify for the assistance program if you have an insured mortgage. Please note that this is not about free money. This is about deferring mortgage payments or interest until the end of the term.

Please review the references that we have put together in a link below for homeownership assistance. This will also include contact information for each financial institution and customer service. Please note to contact the banks directly for your options.

Please be patient because there will be overwhelming congestion with the Banks and Financial Institutions. There is an announcement that will be made tomorrow with more information and we will continue to keep you updated and posted. We are still waiting to see what the plan is regarding non-insured, private and alternative loans.

If you do not qualify then we can always look at what it means to refinance your mortgage in order to get liquidity increase cash flow or lower the rate and extend the amortization.

This can be possible if you are still working and you have built equity in your home. Equity means that the value of your has gone up and your mortgage is less than 80% of the value of the home.
