What is a private lender?
A private lender provides mortgage funding to a single borrower who is unable to obtain financing through more traditional lenders, like the banks and credit unions due to a variety of circumstances. These mortgages are usually offered at a higher interest rate along with some related fees, making them an attractive investment opportunity – and one that also offers the added security of collateralized real estate.
Investors in our mortgage investment program can be an individual or a small syndication of individuals who pool their money to fund a single mortgage transaction. Through CMI, Canadian investors can gain access to Canada’s historically strong real estate market without the hassle of direct home ownership.

A curated selection of attractive investment opportunities

Our distinct Mortgage Matching Process ensures you receive only those opportunities that match your unique investor profile. You’ll get to choose if this investment is right for you – there’s no need to keep checking back with us or battle with other investors.
Rigorous due diligence and asset management process
