Despite this, you may have experienced the frustration of being unable to get the credit you need, even from your own bank.  Here is an alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equityline VISA – the only credit you may ever need.  Equityline VISA is a unique product that combines the freedom of a fully open line of credit, the convenience of VISA, and all the benefits of a Gold card.  You can use the equity in your home to secure a revolving line of credit of up to $250,000  without making any changes to your existing mortgage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Save with low interest, a low minimum monthly payment and no annual fee Equityline VISA is ideal for homeowners looking to save money by consolidating higher-interest debts into one lower-interest line of credit.  With an interest rate of 8.99%, 9.99% or 11.99%, your savings could add up fast!  And with a minimum monthly payment of just 1%, 1.25% or 1.5% of your balance, compared to 3% on most credit cards, you could be more than doubling your cash flow every month.  All with no annual fee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get credit you control.  Whether you want credit to make home improvements, buy a car, support a child’s education, take a vacation – even to manage everyday or unexpected expenses – the Equityline VISA gives you access to the funds you need, whenever you need them, up to your available credit limit.  Just use your VISA card for purchases, get cash at any ATM displaying the VISA logo, or write a convenience cheque.  You’ll only pay interest on the credit you use, and you can make payments on the card anytime, without penalties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So give yourself some credit for the equity in your home.  Call us today to see how the Equityline VISA can work for you.</description><link>http://www.mortgageoutlook.ca/blog/2006/11/equityline-visa_116330476036326920.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Virginia Grasby)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28931851.post-115993676353693582</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Oct 2006 04:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-10-04T00:39:23.550-04:00</atom:updated><title>30 &amp; 35 Year Amortizations</title><description>30 &amp; 35 Year Amortizations are now available on most CMHC &amp; Genworth insured mortgages as well as the conventional mortgages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * lower mortgage payments &lt;br /&gt;   *    flexibility to meet financial goals&lt;br /&gt;   * desirable mortgage loan amount&lt;br /&gt;   * affordability for lump sum payments        &lt;br /&gt;   *    equity take out&lt;br /&gt;   *    increase cash flow</description><link>http://www.mortgageoutlook.ca/blog/2006/10/30-35-year-amortizations.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Virginia Grasby)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28931851.post-115825374091946115</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 Sep 2006 17:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-09-14T13:09:00.960-04:00</atom:updated><title>An Easy &amp; Fast Commercial Mortgage Financing</title><description>Are you a small business owner and are looking for an easy and fast financing commercial property: storefront, industrial/warehouse, multi-family units, motel, rooming house, bed &amp; breakfast, office, retail, funeral home, restaurant or automotive facilities……… &lt;br /&gt;and you just cannot get the service you need from the banks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please call us for the innovative and creative commercial mortgage programs offered by alternative commercial mortgage lenders.</description><link>http://www.mortgageoutlook.ca/blog/2006/09/easy-fast-commercial-mortgage_14.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Virginia Grasby)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28931851.post-115328289596860643</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Jul 2006 04:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-07-19T00:21:35.980-04:00</atom:updated><title>The Flex Down Payment Mortgage Program</title><description>The Flex Down Payment Mortgage Program&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Individuals who have a proven record to be able to manage their debt&lt;br /&gt;effectively and are making a good income but have not been able to save&lt;br /&gt;for their down payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Flex Down Mortgage Program allows the borrowers more sources to&lt;br /&gt;obtain their minimum 5% down payment.
