About CMHC Insured Financing

CMHC financing is mortgage loan insurance from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation for building multi-unit residential properties. Common challenges to accessing it include applying for a Certificate of Insurance and choosing the CMHC project that best fits your needs.

As your CMHC partner, we guide you through these complexities. We offer in-depth consultation, application assistance, and ongoing project support.

Key benefits of CMHC insured financing

Lower interest rates

CMHC financing’s reduced interest rates lower monthly loan costs, freeing up capital. 

Extended amortization

Repayment terms up to 50 years result in smaller monthly payments. This eases cash flow management and makes financial planning more predictable.

LTV ratios up to 95%

The higher the LTV, the more of a property’s value can be financed. This reduces capital requirements. 

Flexible terms

Diverse term options let developers tailor financing to their needs, aligning loan payments with cash flow patterns.
