Equity, not just score, decides the Medicine Hat answer

Bruised credit narrows the lender list; it rarely closes the door. B-lenders accept Beacon scores from around 500 with an equity-supported file, and private lenders are largely score-agnostic — they underwrite the equity in your Medicine Hat home, not your past. The trade-off is rate (B-lender +75–150 bps; private +200–500 bps plus fees), which is why this is a bridge, not a home. We're upfront about every cost in writing before you commit.

The exit plan is the point

An alt or private mortgage only works if it ends. We map the A-lender exit from day one: re-establish two clean trade lines, keep balances down, and most Southern AB borrowers move back to prime pricing in 12–24 months. Many save more on that eventual refinance than they paid in alt premium. Without a mapped exit, an alt mortgage quietly becomes a permanent expense — so we re-evaluate the file on a set schedule, not just at maturity.
