Equity Take-Out Mortgages in Ontario — For Brokers Pulling Client Equity
When a client needs to access the equity in their property and the bank won't cooperate, a private equity take-out solves it. Here is how Stonefield Capital funds take-outs for Ontario brokers.
Stonefield Capital is an FSRA-licensed private lender (Brokerage #13722) funding equity take-out mortgages for Ontario brokers. We let clients access home equity based on property value and exit strategy — not income proof or credit score — in first or second position. Same-day commitments and closings in as little as 48 hours across Ontario.
What an equity take-out solves
An equity take-out converts a client's built-up property equity into usable cash. Brokers place take-outs with Stonefield when a client is self-employed and can't prove income, has bruised credit, needs capital for a business or investment, is consolidating debt, or simply needs funds faster than a bank refinance allows. We can structure the take-out as a new first or as a second behind an existing low-rate mortgage.
Qualifying on equity, not income
Stonefield underwrites on the property's value and a clear exit strategy. There is no income stress test and no credit minimum — what matters is sufficient equity and a viable repayment plan. That makes the equity take-out a fit for self-employed clients, commission earners, and borrowers between traditional approvals. We rarely condition for an appraisal and give a same-day read on whether the file works.
Indicative pricing and loan-to-value
In the GTA we generally lend up to about 70% of property value, with lower thresholds (around 65%) in secondary and tertiary markets. First-position take-outs generally range 7.49–9.99% in the GTA; second-position take-outs 9.99–10.99% in the GTA, higher in secondary and tertiary markets. Lender fees run roughly 1.5–2.5% on firsts and 2.0–4.0% on seconds, and legal fees are typically around $3,000. Rates are indicative and subject to underwriting approval.
Submitting an equity take-out
Send the property, current mortgage balance(s), the equity the client wants to access, their situation, and the exit. We issue same-day commitments and can close in as little as 48 hours; standard timelines run three to four business days from signed commitment and legal retainer to funding. You keep the client relationship; Stonefield is the lender behind the deal.
