Mortgage

What is a First Mortgage?
A first mortgage is a primary lien on a property.

 As the primary loan that pays for a property, it has priority over all other liens or claims on a property in the event of default. A first mortgage is not the mortgage on a borrower’s first home; it is the original mortgage taken on any one property. It is also called a first lien. If the home is refinanced, then the refinanced mortgage assumes the first mortgage position.

An industrial building, office unit, apartment building, shopping mall, storefront plus apartments, retail plazas, and hotels are just some examples of the different types of commercial properties that you can get financing in the form of mortgages on. Similar to residential mortgages on a home, a commercial mortgage loan can come in the form or a first, second, or third mortgage, although first and second mortgages are much more common than third mortgages are.

While you can get a commercial mortgage form many types of the same lenders that provide residential mortgages, such as a bank, credit unions, trust companies, and private lenders who invest their personal money into mortgages, the interest rates are typically slightly higher on this form of financing than the rates on residential home mortgages. The lowest interest rates for commercial mortgages are on first mortgages that are insured by a third-party mortgage insurance policy from a company like the CMHC. CMHC specialized in mortgage insurance and do not provide other more traditional kinds of insurance such as life insurance or auto insurance.
