Helping a Retired Couple Bring Their Mortgage Back Into Good Standing
A retired senior couple owned two residential properties: one with a mortgage and HELOC, and one owned free and clear. After a renewal-related servicing issue, they unexpectedly ended up in default and believed they needed a large private mortgage to pay out their bank. HopeWell determined that a large private mortgage would create unnecessary affordability pressure. Instead, HopeWell negotiated with the existing lender to accept arrears and reinstate the mortgage, then arranged a smaller private mortgage against the free-and-clear property to cure the arrears.

Mississauga Power of Sale Rescue with Prepaid Private Mortgage
A Mississauga couple came to us while their home was in power of sale. Both husband and wife were working and earning decent income, but because of spending and unsecured debt issues, they had accumulated significant credit card debt and fell behind badly enough for the property to enter power of sale. Power of sale is not just a mortgage problem; it can be emotionally devastating because a family may lose the home, the memories attached to it, and the equity built over many years. We arranged a prepaid private mortgage that paid out the existing mortgages. The mortgage was prepaid for one year so the clients had breathing room to pay down unsecured debts. We also counselled them to get rid of their credit cards and avoid rebuilding the same debt. After one year, if the debts are paid down and the file improves, the plan is to revisit a B-lender refinance and eventually work toward A-lender financing again.

Oakville Power of Sale Rescue with Private Mortgage and UK Judgment Exit
Oakville homeowners were facing power of sale on their primary residence. The wife was chronically ill and not working. One son was autistic. The husband was between jobs. The loan-to-value was high at around 80%, and many lenders are uncomfortable with high-LTV power of sale rescues because they need to know what has changed. If a borrower could not pay the previous lender, the new lender will ask why they should be comfortable. In this case, the material change was significant: the husband had won a lawsuit in the UK, and the court had awarded him approximately £6 million. He expected to realize the money within about three months. We explained the full story to the lender and provided a copy of the judgment. The lender found comfort in the documented exit strategy and funded the mortgage to avoid power of sale.

London Power of Sale Rescue with Fully Prepaid Private Mortgage After Road Accident
London clients faced power of sale after the husband had a road accident and was unable to work for a significant period. Because of the income interruption, they fell behind on mortgage payments and ended up in arrears. We arranged a fully prepaid private mortgage for the term to pay off the existing mortgage, cure the arrears, and consolidate their debts. Since the mortgage was prepaid, the clients did not have to make regular private mortgage payments for one year. The exit strategy was to revisit refinance with an institutional lender after the husband returned to work.

- Purpose
- Fully prepaid private mortgage to stop power of sale, pay out existing mortgage, consolidate debts, and create one-year refinance exit window

Ottawa Prepaid Private Second Mortgage for Basement Rental Suite and Debt Consolidation
A single mother in Ottawa, working for a government department, wanted to access equity to build a basement for additional rental income. She also wanted to consolidate existing debts.

We arranged a prepaid private mortgage that addressed the arrears, provided business-use cash-out funds, and created breathing room while the client worked on stabilizing the business.

A single mother in Sudbury lost her job, missed mortgage payments, and faced power-of-sale and eviction risk. She expected to secure a new job with a government agency within approximately four to five months, but she needed immediate breathing room.

Once her position improved, the plan was to revisit a more complete refinance.

Toronto-Etobicoke Senior Approved for Reverse Mortgage Instead of Private Mortgage
A senior homeowner in Toronto-Etobicoke was living alone and owned an apartment-style property. Her income consisted of a very low pension and some government support. She approached us for a private mortgage because she wanted to help her grandson. From a property-equity perspective, a prepaid private mortgage for one year may have been possible. But the file had a serious suitability issue: there was no clear exit strategy. If she had no income to refinance or repay the mortgage after one year, the private mortgage could create more risk later. We arranged a reverse mortgage instead, because that structure better matched her income profile and long-term needs.
- Solution
- Reverse mortgage
- Purpose
- Equity access and family support

Kingston Second Private Mortgage to Consolidate High-Interest Debt
Clients in Kingston had accumulated high-interest unsecured debts, which created significant monthly payment pressure. As they struggled to keep up, they fell into arrears and had a couple of judgments registered, causing their credit scores to drop. A conventional refinance was not available at that stage. We helped the clients prepare a monthly budget and arranged a second private mortgage to consolidate the unsecured debts and arrears. The new structure reduced monthly payments to approximately one-third of the previous amount. The exit plan was to maintain the private mortgage while improving credit, then review a conventional refinance the following year.

Hamilton Prepaid Private Second Mortgage for U.S. University Tuition
Clients in Hamilton needed urgent cash-out to pay their child’s tuition after admission to a prestigious American university. Their existing first mortgage was fixed at a very low rate, and the penalty to break it was high, so a complete refinance was not feasible. They also did not qualify for a B-lender second mortgage or HELOC at that time because the husband was temporarily laid off. We arranged a fully prepaid private second mortgage. The tuition was paid, the low-rate first mortgage stayed in place, and the plan was to revisit a complete refinance at renewal if the husband returned to work and the file qualified.
