Simplify Your Investments with Blanket Mortgages in Canada

Last updated:

Quick answer

Quick answer (Canada): A blanket mortgage uses more than one property as collateral under a single loan. It can improve leverage, lower blended rates, and reduce legal repetition across multiple closings. Approval focuses on portfolio value, rents, DSCR, borrower strength, and release clauses. We package once and make lenders compete so proceeds, covenants, and timelines fit your plan.

Portfolio Headaches, Clear Genesis Solutions

  • Too many renewals and lawyers. We consolidate into one facility with aligned maturities and fewer legal touches.

  • DSCR tight on a few doors. We underwrite to portfolio coverage and right-size amortization for healthy DSCR.
  • Release risk when selling one asset. We negotiate partial release clauses and clear payout math in advance.
  • Rate vs flexibility. We model fixed, variable, and prepayment so exit and future scaling stay easy.
  • Bank said no. We place with credit unions or alt lenders now, then map a path back to prime pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blanket mortgage in Canada and when does it make sense?

A blanket mortgage is one loan secured by more than one property. Investors use it to streamline financing, unlock equity across doors, and align maturities. It can reduce legal repeats and improve leverage when portfolio DSCR and covenants are structured well. Start with our Blanket Mortgage Calculator.

How does DSCR work for a portfolio or blanket mortgage?

DSCR compares net operating income to annual debt service. Many lenders look at portfolio DSCR, not just one property. We tune amortization and proceeds to keep coverage healthy and model sensitivities for rent, vacancy, and rates. Try the LTV Calculator and the Product Comparison Guide.

Can I sell one property that is under a blanket mortgage?

Yes, if your loan has a partial release clause. We negotiate release math up front (fixed dollar or percentage of outstanding) so dispositions are clean without refinancing the whole portfolio.

How much can I borrow on a blanket mortgage and what LTV is typical?

Proceeds depend on portfolio value, rents, DSCR, borrower strength, and lender type. Conventional blanket facilities often size to portfolio LTV and DSCR thresholds. We compare scenarios and show monthly impact in the Blanket Mortgage Calculator.

What documents do lenders require for a portfolio or blanket mortgage?

Expect a rent roll, leases, T1/T2 financials, property tax bills, insurance, prior appraisals if available, and a statement of real estate owned. We package once for all properties, then run lender comparisons.

What rates and fees should I expect versus financing each property separately?

Pricing depends on DSCR, leverage, and lender type. A blanket can lower blended costs by simplifying legal and aligning terms, though some facilities add admin or collateral management fees. We make 100+ lenders compete and show total cost side by side.

Are there risks with cross-collateralization under a blanket mortgage?

Cross-collateralization ties properties together. Without a release clause, selling one asset can be harder. We negotiate clear release provisions, reserve requirements, and covenants that match your plan, then map refinance windows to keep flexibility high.

How fast can a blanket mortgage close in Canada?

With documents ready, conditional approvals can land in a few business days. Actual closing depends on appraisals, title searches across properties, and solicitor turnaround. We coordinate all moving parts so timelines stay predictable.
