THE OPPORTUNITY
Invest in First and Second mortgages in major urban cities across Canada and prominently in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.
The real estate secured will include but is not limited to single family dwellings, town homes and multi-family units.
NEW REGULATIONS & OPPORTUNE MARKET CONDITIONS
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has published Principles for Sound Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices (“FSB Principles”), which call on all jurisdictions to ensure that entities that originate mortgages or own the resulting risk, including any entities involved in outsourcing of mortgage underwriting, adhere to the FSB Principles.
This Guideline sets out OSFI’s expectations for prudent residential mortgage underwriting, and is applicable to all federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs) that are engaged in residential mortgage underwriting and/or the acquisition of residential mortgage loan assets in Canada. It complements relevant provisions of the Bank Act, Trust and Loan Companies Act, the Insurance Companies Act and the Cooperative Credit Associations Act, as well as the Government of Canada’s mortgage insurance guarantee framework, which establishes the rules for government-backed insured mortgages.
For the purpose of this Guideline, a “residential mortgage” includes any loan to an individual that is secured by residential property (i.e., one to four unit dwellings). Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), equity loans and other such products that use residential property as security are also covered by this Guideline.
In summary, this opens up a new window of opportunity for private mortgage lending companies as the new B20 and B21 regulations set by OSFI do not apply. This allows WCL Capital Group to provide services at a capacity not offered by any other lenders across the country.
With the high number of self employed individuals in Canada as well as the individuals experiencing bruised credit that will be rejected for purchases and or equity take out refinances by all major Financial Institutions and Trust Companies, the newly introduced guidelines set by OSFI have restricted Financial Institutions and Trust Companies to an extent that private mortgage lending has become the new way to invest for high returns secured against valuable Canadian real estate.
