One of the common commercial mortgages in Ontario is an interest only loan. In this type of mortgage, you pay only the interest on the mortgage for the term of the loan, this term is usually 1 or 2 years. Then when this period expires you have the option of paying the balance of the mortgage in full or rolling the mortgage over to a conventional commercial mortgage, most borrowers refinance into a bank or trust type of mortgage.
If you have bad credit, you can still obtain a commercial mortgage. Ontario lenders do need to have security for the loan, which is the property for which you need financing. In some special cases, the lender may consider additional or alternate colletaral or even a blanket on another property. This means that if you do not succeed in the venture the lender will foreclose on the loan and you will lose the property or additional security. The process of obtaining such a loan, whether you have good or bad credit, is a lengthy one in which you will have to have the property appraised and there are legal fees involved in making sure the loan documents offer the protection needed by both you and the lender.
