At EquityRich, we specialize in unlocking home equity with creative, borrower-friendly solutions. Homeowners in the Greater Toronto Area gain total financial control through our interest-only mortgage program, especially when money flow adaptability is their most important concern. As a private and alternative mortgage lender, our approval process is based on the evaluation of your property’s value and available equity rather than on your age, income, or credit score. The interest-only mortgage functions as a smart strategic solution for homeowners who need to refinance, purchase homes, or consolidate debts since it maximizes both short-term affordability and long-term potential.
An interest-only mortgage is a type of home loan where the borrower pays interest on borrowed funds without paying any principal amount during a specific time period. Homeowners can use this short-term payment structure to achieve reduced mortgage payments that help them handle their financial responsibilities better.
In Canada, interest-only mortgage lenders give borrowers different options for interest-only periods between six months and several years before they start making payments that combine interest and principal or choose to refinance the loan. These mortgage products appeal most to individuals whose income fluctuates or who possess valuable assets and plan to achieve short-term investment targets. People can obtain interest-only mortgages because Equity Rich provides accessible options for these loans.
With lower monthly payments during the interest-only term, you retain more capital each month. This is ideal if you’re managing other financial priorities such as business expenses, tuition, or renovations.
By reducing initial payments, interest-only mortgages allow you to qualify for more expensive homes or investment properties in the Greater Toronto Area, especially if you’re expecting higher income or a sale in the near future.
Our model at Equity Rich is focused on equity-based lending, meaning you can leverage your property’s existing value up to 75% LTV in either first or second position, without traditional lender constraints.
If you’re purchasing with the intent to sell within a few years, an interest-only mortgage allows you to keep costs low while your property’s value appreciates.
Unlike traditional interest-only mortgage lenders, we don’t require minimum income, credit minimums, or age thresholds. Our only qualification? Your property’s value and available equity.
During the first 6 months to several years, your monthly payments only cover the interest, calculated using competitive interest-only mortgage rates in Canada. Use our interest-only payment calculator to see how much you can save during this term.
We lend based on the equity in your home, not your financial history. No income-based approvals. No credit requirements. Just a professional appraisal of your property value to determine eligibility.
3. Flexible Loan Structuring
We offer interest-only mortgage options in both first and second positions, with loan-to-value ratios of up to 75%. Our flexibility makes refinancing or tapping into equity simpler and faster than traditional lenders.
4. Refinancing Options
Can you refinance an interest-only mortgage? Absolutely. Once your interest-only term ends, you can convert it into a standard amortized loan or refinance into another interest-only or private lending solution with us.
5. End of Term: Payoff or Extension
When the interest-only term ends, you can choose to renew (if renewal is offered), refinance into principal plus interest payments, or pay off the loan in full. We’ll work with you to ensure a seamless transition, always based on your evolving goals.
