Do You Qualify?
Qualifying starts with just two things.
1
You own property in Ontario
2
There's equity in it

Credit score, income type, an active consumer proposal, a past bankruptcy — those don't stop the conversation here. They're the reason I built this practice.

You're Not Alone

The Bank Said No.
That's Not the End.

Traditional lenders run your life through rigid checklists. A missed payment years ago, self-employment income that doesn't fit their forms, a renewal that suddenly doesn't qualify — none of it defines your ability to manage a mortgage. I read the whole picture, starting with the asset you already own.

💼
Self-Employed & Can't "Prove" Income
Banks demand T4s, but your write-offs shrink your reported income. Alternative and private lenders can look at your real cash flow and your equity — not just a tax return that undersells you.
📋
Consumer Proposal or Bankruptcy
A consumer proposal or bankruptcy — even an active one — doesn't close every door. Ontario homeowners regularly access private mortgages through their home equity, with the trustee involved where required.
📉
Bruised, Bad, or No Credit
A low score is a snapshot, not a sentence. Private lenders weigh your property's equity and your ability to carry the payments far more heavily than a number on a credit report.
💰
Cash, Commission & Online Income
Trades, hospitality, realtors, sales pros, content creators, e-commerce sellers — your income is real even when it doesn't fit the bank's box. We work with lenders who understand that.
🔁
Drowning in Debt or Tax Arrears
High-interest credit cards, personal loans, CRA debt, property tax arrears — your home equity can consolidate it into one manageable payment, even when your credit profile scares the banks off.
📆
Renewal Declined or Payment Shock
More Ontario homeowners than ever are being declined at renewal or hit with payments they can't carry. You don't have to sell — alternative and private lenders can bridge you through it.
The Bank's Approach
What Banks See
A credit score below their threshold — automatic decline
Self-employed less than two years — declined
An active consumer proposal — declined
Cash, commission, or online income — "can't verify"
A failed stress test — rejected no matter your equity
The AB Approach
What We See
Your property equity — the real collateral
Your actual ability to make the payments
Your whole situation — and the story behind it
A realistic exit plan back to mainstream lending

I'm Abhi Bathla, a licensed Ontario Mortgage Agent, Level 2 — FSRA Lic. #M16001438 — operating under Dominion Lending Centres National Ltd. (FSRA #12360), independently owned and operated. For over 8 years I've worked in mortgage finance, and I built my practice for one kind of client: the Ontario homeowner the banks turned away.

Self-employed income the bank "can't verify." A consumer proposal that slammed every door. A renewal that suddenly doesn't qualify. A power of sale notice sitting on the kitchen table. These aren't edge cases to me — they're my entire practice. I know which of my 30+ lenders says yes to which situation, and I tell you the truth about your options either way.

⚠️ Urgent Situation?

Facing Power of Sale?
We Can Stop It.

In Ontario, your lender can issue a Notice of Sale after as little as 15 days of default — and from that notice you typically have a minimum 35-day redemption window before they can move to sell your home. They don't need a court order to do it. Private funding arranged inside that window can pay out the arrears and stop the process. The earlier you call, the more options — and equity — you keep.

Urgent files get same-day attention — including evenings and weekends.

⏱ The Power of Sale Clock
15 days
Of default is all it takes before your lender can issue a Notice of Sale under standard charge terms.
35 days
Minimum redemption window from the notice — your strongest opportunity to refinance and stop the sale.
5 days
Private funding can close in as little as 5 business days when your documents are ready.
How Power of Sale Unfolds in Ontario

Knowing where you are in this timeline tells you how much room you have to act — and why every week matters.

Stage 1
Missed Payments
Day 1–15+

Arrears, penalties, and lender fees start stacking. After just 15 days of default, the lender can formally begin the power of sale process.

Stage 2
Notice of Sale Issued
Min. 35-Day Redemption — Act Now

You have at least 35 days to pay out what's owed. This is your strongest window — private funding arranged here stops the sale entirely.

Stage 3
Possession & Legal Costs
After Redemption Expires

The lender moves toward possession of the property. Every legal step they take gets billed against your equity. Options narrow fast — but may still exist.

Stage 4
Property Listed & Sold
No Court Approval Needed

Forced sales often fetch below market. Fees, penalties, and legal costs come out of your equity first — any surplus returned to you is usually far less than selling on your own terms.

🛡️
Protect Your Equity

Lender fees, penalties, and legal costs compound daily — and they all come out of your equity. Acting early preserves what you've spent years building.

Funding in As Little As 5 Business Days

With your documents ready, private funding can pay out the arrears and stop the process inside the redemption window. Speed is the whole game here.

A private mortgage is funded by individuals, groups of investors, or Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs) instead of a bank. Approval is based primarily on your property and the equity in it — not on rigid credit-score cutoffs, income formulas, or the federal stress test. It's typically a shorter-term bridge tool, and every file I arrange includes an exit strategy back to mainstream lending. All terms are explained in plain English, in writing, before you commit to anything.
Often, yes — an active consumer proposal does not automatically disqualify you when there's equity in your home. Depending on the situation, your trustee may need to be involved, and in many cases the right move is using home equity to pay out the proposal early, which can start your credit recovery sooner. I coordinate all of that with you.
Yes. Private and equity-based lenders weigh your property, your equity, and your ability to manage the payments far more heavily than a credit score. A low score changes which lenders fit your file — it does not end the conversation. Collections, judgments, and past write-offs are all situations I work with regularly.
This is one of the most common files I see. Depending on your business tenure, cash flow, and equity, options include stated-income programs, bank-statement programs, and equity-based private lending — approaches that look at what you actually earn and own, not just what's left on line 15000 after write-offs.
Equity-based private options may still exist — between jobs, recently retired, or income on paper near zero. To be clear: a responsible plan still matters. Lenders and I will look at how the mortgage gets carried and what the exit strategy is. If the numbers genuinely don't work, I'll tell you that straight rather than set you up to fail.
First: don't panic, and don't assume you have to sell. Renewal declines are more common than ever, and alternative and private lenders can bridge you through while we rebuild your path back to a mainstream mortgage. The most important thing is timing — ideally we start before your maturity date, so reach out as soon as you get the news.
Most private mortgages close in 5–10 business days from commitment. Urgent power-of-sale files, with documents ready, can sometimes move in as little as 3–5 business days. The two biggest variables are the appraisal and how quickly your documents come together — which is why I give you the exact checklist on our first call.
The free assessment involves no credit pull at all. Many private and equity-based lenders don't require one either. If a specific lender option does need a credit check later in the process, you'll know before it happens — nothing touches your credit without your knowledge and consent.
A first mortgage is the primary loan registered against your property. A second mortgage sits behind it — a separate loan secured by your remaining equity. Seconds are often used to access cash without breaking your existing first mortgage and triggering its penalties. Which structure fits you depends on your current mortgage, your equity, and your goal — that's exactly what we map out on our call.
Yes to all three. Purchases and refinances, residential and commercial (including mixed-use and multi-unit), anywhere in Ontario — from the GTA to Northern Ontario. If the property is in this province and has equity, it's a conversation worth having.
