Equity Without Disruption

How a Second Mortgage Works

A second mortgage sits behind your existing first mortgage on title — meaning your first mortgage rate is completely untouched. You access additional capital based on the equity you've built, without refinancing or triggering costly mortgage penalties.

PMC structures second mortgages differently from banks. We assess the full picture — property value, equity position, purpose of borrowing, and your capacity to repay — then build a defined exit strategy into every loan.

Whether you're accessing equity for 3 months or 12 months, you'll know exactly how and when you're exiting before you sign anything.

When It Makes Sense

Common Second Mortgage Scenarios

A second mortgage is a purpose-driven tool. Here are the most common — and most strategic — ways Ontario borrowers use them.

Renovation Financing

Fund a major reno — addition, basement, kitchen, income suite — without breaking your first mortgage penalization. Access equity now, repay from the increased property value or eventual refinance.

Debt Consolidation

A second mortgage at 10-12% can replace multiple debts at 20-29% (credit cards, LOC). Lower monthly payments. Single lender. And PMC builds the plan to pay it off through a future refinance.

Investment Property Down Payment

Use equity from your principal residence to fund the down payment on an income property — without liquidating investments or waiting years to save.

Business Capital

For business owners who need short-term working capital but face bank restrictions. Access private capital through home equity, deploy it in the business, and repay from business cash flow.

PMC's Approach

We Don't Just Lend. We Plan the Exit.

Most private lenders fund the loan. PMC funds the path forward — structuring every second mortgage with a written exit strategy before a dollar is deployed.
