Avoid Scams!
It came to my attention that some homeowners are being ripped off by hard money lenders operating in greater Toronto area.
You’ll probably find these hard money lenders advertising their “fast money” second mortgages in many newspapers across this country.
They’ll approve your application very quickly and then ask you to send them $500 cash to get the ball rolling.
This is a scam and I want you to stay away from these people.
In Ontario, it is illegal for a mortgage brokers to request up front fees on all mortgages below $300,000.
If your mortgage is below $300,000 then they can’t ask you to send them money to get the ball rolling!
If this happens to you then please report them to FSCO ( www.fsco.ca ) immediately.
This is yet another reason why you should work with only one mortgage broker agent and stay with that broker/agent for life.
Your broker/agent should be knowledgeable and experienced and have at least 10 years experience.
I usually start working with my clients on their first home purchase and then look after their mortgage renewals, debt consolidation mortgage refinancing, home equity loans and/or second mortgages.
Majority of my clients stay with me for life because they know they’ll get a great service from me with the best rates on the market for their situation.
If you have a situation you’d like me to look at then simply visit my website www.joemalek.com where you can apply online on my secure server and I’ll get back to you very quickly.
Thank you
