Own your home? You’re approved.

All you need to qualify for a loan is to own your home (or other real estate). Traditional banks look at factors such as your age, income, and credit history to approve you for a loan. At Alpine Credits, we focus on the amount of equity you have in your home or other real estate properties. We make the process as quick and easy as possible.

Frequently asked questions

The amount of money that you can borrow for education in Canada varies depending on the program that you are enrolled in. Generally, you can borrow up to $35,000 per year for undergraduate studies and up to $50,000 for graduate studies. Additionally, there are a variety of loan options available, so it’s important to speak with a credit specialist at Alpine Credits for more information.

There are a number of benefits that make taking a loan for education worth it. Firstly, you can borrow money to pay for your tuition, textbooks, and other school-related expenses. Additionally, you can get a lower interest rate than you would with a credit card. Finally, many lenders allow you to defer your payments while you are still in school.

There are a few steps that you need to take in order to take out a loan for education. Firstly, you need to find a lender that offers the type of loan that you are looking for. Then, you will need to provide documentation like your transcripts and proof of income. Finally, you will need to go through an approval process to make sure that you are eligible for a loan through your home equity.

The amount of collateral that is needed for an education loan varies from lender to lender. However, most lenders require some form of collateral in order to secure the loan. This can be in the form of a personal guarantee, a down payment, or assets like your home. With Alpine Credits, our first concern is not your age, credit history, or financial status. Instead, we evaluate the worth of your property in terms of home equity or other real estate and try to make it as simple as possible, unlike the banks that have strict lending criteria.
