CMHC Insured – MLI Select

As a Nationally Approved Lender Correspondent, High Street can represent you directly to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation CMHC to attain a favourable “Certificate of Insurance” (COI) for your multi-family project. We work very closely with CMHC and a wide range of national and CMBS lenders to structure and fund CMHC-insured mortgages on a variety of multiple-family housing types, including apartments, townhouses, senior’s long-term care and assisted living facilities.
Our team’s expertise includes comprehensive knowledge of CMHC’s products and policies on new and existing multi-unit projects, including the new MLI Select program for affordable housing. For “Large Portfolio” borrowers High Street facilitates the completion of CMHC’s Financial Capacity Review (FCR).
High Street provides tailored solutions with CMHC’s MLI Select product. This multi-unit mortgage loan insurance allows borrowers to access reduced premiums and extended amortization periods by meeting affordability, accessibility, and climate compatibility criteria. More than half of our CMHC deals utilize MLI Select, providing financing for construction, improvements, purchases, refinancing, and building conversions. This program offers reduced premium rates upfront, replacing the older Flex applications for affordable housing. MLI Select streamlines the process, making it easier for you to achieve your housing goals.
