Mortgage financing is a type of credit that is often used to purchase a home or other property. Unless you are paying cash for a property, most buyers will need to obtain mortgage financing from a financial institution. (www.canada.ca – Financial Consumer Agency – Mortgages)

What is the difference between mortgage financing and a mortgage loan?

In fact, the mortgage loan can be a component of mortgage financing. Nowadays, it is possible to obtain either a mortgage loan, a home equity line of credit, a combination of a loan and a line of credit or other types of credit. Therefore, mortgage financing can include a loan or a margin or any other financing granted by the financial institution according to their conditions.

So you need to make an informed decision with an impartial mortgage financing expert, a mortgage broker.
