Equity, not just score, decides the Vaughan answer

Bruised credit narrows the lender list; it rarely closes the door. B-lenders accept Beacon scores from around 500 with an equity-supported file, and private lenders are largely score-agnostic — they underwrite the equity in your Vaughan home, not your past. The trade-off is rate (B-lender 4.69-7.00% as of July 2026 against A-lender 3.50-4.19% plus a 1-2% fee; private averaging 9.6% in Q3 2025 per CMHC, plus fees), which is why this is a bridge, not a home. We're upfront about every cost in writing before you commit.

The exit plan is the point

An alt or private mortgage only works if it ends. We map the A-lender exit from day one: re-establish two clean trade lines, keep balances down, and most GTA / York borrowers move back to prime pricing in 12–24 months. Many save more on that eventual refinance than they paid in alt premium. Without a mapped exit, an alt mortgage quietly becomes a permanent expense — so we re-evaluate the file on a set schedule, not just at maturity.
