Mortgage Intelligence introduces i ProvideTM: A new home equity line of credit
that offers more freedom and flexibility
TORONTO, ON (November 8, 2006) – Mortgage Intelligence, a GMAC company, today
announced its latest innovation, i provideTM. The new home equity line of credit will allow home
owners to access funds for up to 90 per cent of the value of their home without any lender fees or
mortgage insurance premiums.
Underwritten by GMAC Residential Funding of Canada, i provideTM makes it easier for home
owners to unlock the equity built up in their biggest asset – their house. i provideTM offers the
freedom to access funds needed for renovations, investments, vacations or anything else that
makes sense to a home owner. This particular line of credit is of tremendous advantage to selfemployed
individuals and small business owners because they can qualify for up to 85 per cent of
the value of their home without providing proof of income.
“The appeal of i provideTM is the freedom and flexibility it affords people,” says Lee Goderstad,
President, GMAC Residential Funding of Canada. “Whether you want the funds for home
renovations, a dream vacation, to pay down higher interest debt or to fund your child’s education,
the choice is yours. It’s a personal financing tool like no other in the Canadian market and will
provide a significant advantage to Mortgage Intelligence consultants and associates.”
Some of the product benefits available through an i provideTM home equity line of credit includes:
• No proof of income on up to 85 per cent value of the home
• Possible to borrow up to 90 per cent of the home’s value to a maximum of 600,000 (or
$700,000 if you live in Toronto, Vancouver or Victoria).
• No need to purchase mortgage insurance
• No lender fees
• Renewable five-year terms with variable rates as low as prime
• Interest-only minimum monthly payments
• Flexible principal prepayment options with no penalty “Traditional lenders and other credit lines don’t offer as much flexibility,” adds Mr. Goderstad.
“Your interest rate can also be as low as prime, and you have the option to pay interest only for
your minimum monthly payments, a real plus if you are a first-time home buyer seeking payment
flexibility.”
