Hard Money Loans in British Columbia & Alberta
Fast, Equity-Based Lending for When the Banks Say No
Searching for a Hard Money Loan in Canada?
In Canada, what many people refer to as a hard money loan is typically known as a private mortgage or private lending. Similar to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, these financing options can offer flexibility based on changing financial needs.
At Dare 2 Dream Mortgage Company, we specialize in helping clients across British Columbia and Alberta get fast access to private mortgage financing based on home equity, not credit or income.
If you’re looking for a flexible, short-term mortgage from a non-bank lender, you’re in the right place.
What Is a Hard Money Loan — and What’s the Canadian Equivalent?
A hard money loan is a term used mostly in the United States to describe short-term, asset-backed lending — often used by real estate investors, self-employed borrowers, or those with poor credit.
In Canada, this type of loan is regulated under our private lending framework and is typically called a:
- Private Mortgage
- Private Home Loan
- Equity-Based Mortgage
The principle is the same: loans are based on your property value, not your income or credit score.
When People Search for "Hard Money Loans", They Usually Need:
- Fast closings for real estate deals
- Short-term lending solutions (6–24 months)
- Financing for self-employed borrowers
- Bridge loans to buy before selling

- Access to equity when the bank says no

Testimonials
We had a great experience with Dare 2 Dream. Chris was able to find us the best deal (outcompeting our previous mortgage provider) and walked us through everything, answered all our questions, and made it as straightforward as possible. Very much appreciated to help take away the stress of buying a selling a home. It felt like dealing with a trusted family member. He’s very knowledgeable and his expertise gave us peace of mind. We will work with Chris again when the mortgage comes due
