Question 1

Who qualifies for a bridge financing in Brossard?

Accepted Answer

Any Canadian resident in Brossard who meets the standard bridge financing criteria — we help borrowers from Secteur A, Secteur B, Secteur C and surrounding Greater MTL. Multi-cultural south-shore; large Chinese + Vietnamese community.

Question 2

What's the average bridge financing file size in Brossard?

Accepted Answer

On a Brossard home valued at the benchmark $640,000, a typical bridge financing client can access up to $192,000 of usable equity, assuming an existing first-mortgage balance around 50% LTV.

Question 3

How much can I borrow with bridge financing?

Accepted Answer

Up to the equity in your departing home minus your existing mortgage balance and selling costs. On a $1.2M sale with a $500K mortgage and ~5% selling costs, that's roughly $640K of bridge-able equity. Most files bridge $50K-$300K to cover the down-payment gap.

Question 4

What does bridge financing cost?

Accepted Answer

Interest only, typically prime + 1% to prime + 4% (~7-11% currently) depending on lender and file. On a $150K bridge for 30 days at 8%, expect roughly $985 in interest. Add a small admin fee ($300-$500) and minor legal cost.

Question 5

Do I need a firm sale to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Almost always — the bridge is secured by sale proceeds, so the lender needs the sale to be firm (financing condition cleared). Some lenders bridge against a conditional sale at materially higher rates; others won't bridge without unconditional. We'll tell you which lenders accept your specific situation.

Question 6

Is bridge financing exempt from the stress test?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bridge financing is exempt from the federal mortgage stress test because it's a sale-proceeds loan with a defined exit (your firm sale), not a long-term residential mortgage. Your new purchase mortgage is the one stress-tested at qualifying rate.

Question 7

How long does a bridge financing take to close in Brossard?

Accepted Answer

Most Brossard files close in 21-35 days from approval. Faster on clean A-lender transfers; slower on alt-A or files requiring an appraisal in a fast-moving Greater MTL market.

Question 8

What documents do I need for a bridge financing in Brossard?

Accepted Answer

Standard package: two pieces of government photo ID, two years of T4s/NOAs, recent pay stubs, 90-day proof of down-payment funds, and the property documents (MLS listing or current mortgage statement). Self-employed and newcomer files have additional requirements — we send a precise list after a 5-minute intake.

Is Mortgage Squad Advisors licensed to operate in Quebec?
