Tapping into Home Equity to Pay-Off Higher Interest-Bearing Debt

Mortgage Investment Corporations (MIC) can help home owners tap into the equity they’ve built up in their home to pay off higher interest-bearing debt. One of the most popular ways to access home equity is with a home equity loan. More and more higher quality Canadian homeowners are turning to Mortgage Company of Canada to refinance because of the convenience, flexibility, and quick turnaround time.

Accessing Home Equity to Pay-Off High Interest-Bearing Debt

A home equity loan is an additional loan taken out against a property. Just like the first mortgage, homeowners make monthly payments on the home equity loan.

With a home equity loan, property owners can receive up to 80% of the home’s appraised value and receive a one-time, lump sum payment, with an interest rate that is either fixed or variable. If the home equity loan is taken out as a second mortgage, the interest rate is often higher than the first mortgage; however, it is still considerably lower than higher-interest bearing debt you would encounter with a credit card, which can come with rates as high as 20% or more.

Why would homeowners look to Mortgage Company of Canada for a home equity loan and not big banks? Banks have introduced a large number of strict lending rules, which means an increasing number of property owners are having their home equity loan turned down.

Because MICs are not governed by the same federal rules as banks, Mortgage Company of Canada can provide loans uniquely tailored to their client’s individual needs. Moreover, because higher quality borrowers are being rejected by banks, Mortgage Company of Canada can be more selective about who it lends to.
