From the Desk of:
Joe Walsh
Construction Mortgage Broker

Welcome builders, developers, buyers, and home owners seeking construction financing for construction projects in Southwestern Ontario.

Let me explain to you why we’re you’re number one source for Ontario construction loans and mortgages.

First, let’s start with my definition of Construction Loans, which includes the following 6 different forms of construction financing:

• Land Purchase Loans:  Undeveloped bare land, partially developed land, serviced lots, unserviced lots, single lots, multiple lots.
• Site Development Loans:  Landscaping, roads, sewers, and other infrastructure.
• Building Construction Loans:   Home renovation, building addition and new construction for residential or commercial applications.
• Construction Bridge Loans:  Covers funding shortfalls near the end of a project unmet by the building construction loan.
• Condo Inventory Loans:  Provides additional capital after construction to cash flow the project until condo registration is received.
• Long Term Take Out Loans:  Long term mortgages that payout construction loans once an occupancy permit is received.
• Mezzanine Loan:  Quazi form of equity financing secured by the project and utilized to cover off the equity requirements of the senior construction loan lender

Most construction projects will require two or three of these construction mortgage applications during a single project, and still others will require four or five, depending on the project and the circumstances.

Because each type of financing requires a unique mortgage, and sometimes from a different lender, the seamless coordination from one source of financing to another is critical to keeping your project on track and minimizing your overall financing costs.

Working with too many brokers and lender over the duration of any project can also become very complex to manage and increases the risk of having problems keeping your overall cash flow on track.

Our focus is to be your one stop shop for construction financing, whatever form of it is required at any one time, and by concentrating our efforts in one particular geographic area, we are able to maintain the necessary lender relationships to achieve this.

Second, whether you’re project is residential or commercial, industrial or mixed use, housing development or apartment complex, new construction, addition, or renovation, we have the institutional and private funding sources that can not only finance all these types of construction projects, but also a broad spectrum of credit profiles and borrower requirements.

Third, and perhaps the most important, is my 34 years of construction financing experience and the ability of my team to provide a high level of customer service to you. In this business, experience accounts for plenty.

Lenders can be very selective with the projects they approve and the terms and conditions they extend.

If you want construction funding in place, for the amount you require, in the time you’ve got to work with, for the best available rates and terms, you’re going to need someone selling the merits of your project that knows what they’re doing.

Also remember that it’s one thing to “find and secure the money”…..it can be quite another to manage the lender relationship, draw process, and transition from one mortgage to the next if required.

Working with a construction mortgage brokerage that is focused on customer service and has the experience to help you effectively deal with issues as they arise (and they will arise) can truly become an invaluable asset to you.
