What The Big Four Won’t Touch: How Non-Bank Lending Is Filling The Gaps.

Majority of banks love low-risk, cookie-cutter clients. Anyone outside that box?

Too hard I Too risky I Too much paperwork.

That's why more brokers are partnering with non-bank lenders to get good deals done - fast.

What gets knocked back by the major banks? 🚧 Short trading history

Young businesses with potential but with a short P&L track record.

🚧 Asset-rich, income-low clients

Plenty of property equity but cash flow that doesn't fit the banks' model

🚧 Land-only security

Especially development sites or vacant lots.

🚧 Unusual titles

Multiple properties that need smart structuring.

Second mortgages fill the gaps major lenders won’t touch. No need to upend the first mortgage or wait weeks for another “no.”

Where a second mortgage works better:

✅ Leave the first mortgage in place — protect good rates and trail.

✅ No full refinance — unlock equity without break costs.

✅ Flexible security — land, multiple properties, mixed-use.

✅ Approvals same or next business day.

✅ Funds ready within days.
