Subject: Real Estate Equity or Secured Loans on Canadian Property

Question
I am an American living and working in the United States, I have property in Ontario, fully paid.  I want to use this equity.  Are there financial institutions in Canada or the United States who would provide either a secured loan using the property as collateral or just as an equity loan?  I am having trouble finding such an institution.

Answer
Hi Ric,

I have contacted a mortgage broker for you to enquire about this.  I was told that hed had done a similar transaction in the past.  Apparently it is approved on a case-by-case situation.  The best thing would be to contact a mortgage broker to look into this for you.
Do you want a referral to one?

Thanks.

Alex
