What We Arrange in Edmonton
We help Edmonton homeowners unlock home equity, consolidate debt or refinance their mortgage — even with bruised credit, low or variable income. We compare options from 50+ prime, B and private lenders to find a solution that fits your situation. One online application, multiple lender options.
Home Equity Loan Edmonton
Lump-sum equity at a fixed rate — the consolidation workhorse.
Second Mortgage Edmonton
Borrow behind a low first-mortgage rate instead of breaking it.
Mortgage Refinance Edmonton
Renewal declined, cash-out or mid-term refinance with bad credit.
Debt Consolidation Mortgage
Cards, loans, CRA and tax arrears folded into one secured payment.
Mortgage Arrears Help Edmonton
Mortgage, tax or CRA arrears paid out before a claim becomes a sale.
Alternative mortgages. Our entire focus. Every single day.
Bad credit. Difficult-to-prove income. Overwhelming debt. A mortgage renewal declined. These are the situations CreditReboot was built for. We work exclusively in alternative mortgage financing, helping homeowners in Edmonton refinance, consolidate debt and access their home equity when bank requirements stand in the way. Every file gets specialist attention, with lender options matched to your equity, income and overall situation.
A difficult file for some is a standard file for us.
HELOC With Bad Credit in Edmonton
A bank HELOC needs a 680-plus beacon and bank-grade income. The lines we arrange for Edmonton homeowners do not. B-lenders and credit unions write a revolving line behind your existing first mortgage, and the decision rests on the equity in the home and whether the payments work on your income as it is actually earned — government, trades and oil-sands rotation income included.
Need a private lender rather than a bank? See our private mortgage lenders in Alberta — first and second mortgages from 7%, up to 80% LTV, for the files a bank will not place: arrears, a notice, or a credit file that needs time to recover.
- Draw what you need, when you need it — interest only on the balance you use
- Up to 80% combined loan-to-value, including the first mortgage
- 7.99%–11.99% at the B-lender tier; a private line is the fallback while the credit file recovers
- Your current first mortgage and its rate stay untouched
Tell us what the line is for — paying out CRA, clearing cards, a renovation before a sale — because the lender choice changes with it. How a HELOC with bad credit works.
Second Mortgage Edmonton — Borrow Behind the First You Want to Keep
If your first mortgage carries a rate you will not see again, breaking it costs a penalty and a higher rate on the whole balance. A second mortgage leaves it alone. The new lender registers behind your first and advances a lump sum against the equity above it. On a typical Edmonton file — a home near $452,000 with about $260,000 owing — that is roughly $101,600 of borrowing room before fees, with one extra payment beside the one you already make.
- B-lender seconds from 7.99%–11.99% for homeowners with bruised credit and income that can be documented
- Private seconds from 9%–14% when the credit or the income needs more time — interest-only, 12-month terms, refinanced out at renewal
- Private funds in 3–5 business days; B-lender files in one to two weeks
- Up to 80% of the appraised value across both mortgages

Debt Consolidation Mortgage in Edmonton — One Payment Instead of Many
This is why most Edmonton homeowners reach us. A debt consolidation mortgage is not a separate product — it is the outcome. A home equity loan, a second mortgage or a HELOC is the method. The balances charging you 19 to 29 per cent are paid off at a far lower rate. A refinance folds everything into one new mortgage payment; a second mortgage or HELOC leaves your first-mortgage payment where it is and adds one secured payment beside it. B-lenders qualify bruised credit and real-life income for either route; private lenders look mainly at the equity and the exit plan.
- Credit cards, store cards and unsecured lines of credit
- Personal and instalment loans, including high-cost short-term lenders
- CRA and income-tax arrears, property-tax arrears and mortgage arrears
- Car loans with negative equity, collections and judgements

Mortgage Refinance in Edmonton — Declined Renewal, Bad Credit or Cash-Out
A refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new, larger one and pays out the difference — to you, or straight to your creditors. It is the right route when your existing rate is not worth protecting, when the bank has declined the renewal, or when one payment beats two. B-lenders write Edmonton first mortgages from 4.99%–5.99% on bruised credit and real-life income, with one- to two-year terms built to get the file back to a bank once it has healed.
- Renewal declined or offered at a punitive rate — replace it instead of signing it
- Cash-out to 80% of the appraised value for debt payout, CRA, renovations or a family need
- Mid-term refinance where the penalty is small or the savings outweigh it
- Private first mortgage from 7%–9% when the timeline is days, not weeks
Refinance or second? That is the comparison we run on every Edmonton file — bad credit mortgage refinancing in Edmonton shows how it is decided.
Behind on Your Mortgage in Edmonton? Arrears Are a Fixable File
Missed mortgage payments, property-tax arrears or a CRA balance are paid out of the equity the same way card debt is — the arrears become part of the new mortgage and the matter closes. The earlier we see the file, the cheaper the fix. In Alberta a lender has to go through the Court of King’s Bench — demand letter, Statement of Claim, then a court-set redemption period — and financing may still be possible at each stage, subject to equity, the payout and the court’s deadlines. Speak to your lawyer as well; an application does not pause the court process.
- Demand letter: a B-lender refinance or a private second clears the arrears at the lowest cost
- Statement of Claim filed: a private first or second mortgage pays the lender out in full — funds in 3–5 business days
- Redemption period running: financing may still close before the sale completes; the more equity, the more time the court tends to allow
If a claim has been served, go straight to Stop Foreclosure Edmonton or call 587-602-5702.
Edmonton Mortgage Rates (October 2026)
Rates depend on the lender tier your file fits, not on the city. These are indicative ranges, reviewed October 2026. The rate you are offered depends on the lender tier your file fits, the loan-to-value, the property and how your income is documented.
Private files carry lender and brokerage fees; every dollar is disclosed in writing before you sign anything.
Private Financing Needs an Exit — Here Is How We Plan It
A private mortgage is a bridge, not a destination, and RECA expects brokers to arrange it with a realistic, borrower-specific plan to get out. Before we place an Edmonton file privately we agree the exit in writing: a B-lender refinance once the credit file has recovered, a sale if that is the honest answer, or a longer private term where income will not support a B-lender yet. We do not assume everyone returns to a bank in twelve months; the plan has to fit your income, your credit trajectory and the property.
What We Need, What It Costs, What Happens Next
- To assess your options: your estimated property value, every mortgage and HELOC balance registered on it, the amount you need, how your income is earned, and any deadline — a renewal date, a foreclosure notice, a CRA demand.
- Costs that may apply: an appraisal ($350–$500), legal fees ($1,000–$1,500), any penalty to break your existing mortgage, and on private files a lender fee and a brokerage fee. B-lender first mortgages usually carry no brokerage fee. Everything is in writing before you commit.
- After you apply: a licensed broker reviews the file and calls you the same business day with the realistic routes. The first look needs no hard credit pull; credit consent and documents — mortgage statement, ID, income records — are requested only once you choose a route, and the lender approval follows, usually within 24 hours.
The Edmonton Numbers, Line by Line

Government, Trades and Oil-Sands Income — Written the Way It Is Earned
Edmonton files look different from Calgary’s: a lot of public-sector and health-care income that banks like, mixed with trades, oil-sands rotations and contract work that they discount. B-lenders and credit unions qualify rotation and contract income on bank statements, pay records and stated-income programs, with the equity supporting the file; private lenders weigh the equity and the exit plan more than the income. The documentation — rotation schedules, pay statements, 6–12 months of deposits — decides which tier the file lands in.
- Rotational and camp income counted at actual deposits, not a T4 average
- Self-employed trades written on 6–12 months of bank statements
- Public-sector and AHS income gets the best B-lender pricing in the tier
- Basement-suite and garage-suite rents count toward qualification

Potentially. An alternative-lender refinance may allow you to pay off your mortgage and eligible debts through one new mortgage. CreditReboot compares the proposed payment, fees and overall cost against your current situation to assess whether consolidation provides a workable improvement.
It may count, depending on the lender and how consistently the income is earned. Employment records, pay statements, tax documents or bank statements may be required. We assess your full income pattern and look for lenders whose qualification methods fit your circumstances.
Owning your home outright gives you equity, but approval still depends on lender requirements and a suitable repayment plan. We assess whether a home equity loan or other mortgage option can meet your needs without creating payments you cannot manage.
You may need replacement financing or another repayment strategy before maturity. We assess whether a B-lender refinance, another private lender or a different route is realistic. Start early: fees, accrued interest and any arrears affect how much equity remains available.
We can assess whether financing is available to address the lender’s claim. The options depend on your equity, payout amount, legal stage and deadlines. Contact your lawyer promptly and send us the documents; a financing application does not pause court proceedings.
Usually, yes. A refinance can pay out both the first mortgage and the secured line and replace them with one mortgage, provided the combined balance fits within the lender’s loan-to-value limit. We compare the new single payment with the two you have now, including any penalty on the existing mortgage, before recommending it.
You will need replacement financing before maturity, and the costs are the private lender’s payout — including any renewal or discharge fees in its terms — plus the new financing’s appraisal, legal fees and, if the route is private again, lender and brokerage fees. Start early; the longer a private mortgage runs past its plan, the more equity the fees consume.
