What is an All-Purpose Mortgage?

Many property owners in Israel are unaware of the fact that they are sitting on a potential "gold mine". An all-purpose mortgage is a bank loan secured by a lien on an existing real estate property (residential apartment), allowing you to receive a significant amount of money for any purpose other than purchasing an apartment.

Unlike a housing mortgage, which is intended for purchasing the property itself, here the property is already in your ownership (or has a small mortgage on it), and you mortgage it to receive liquid cash to your bank account. This process requires precise financial planning and professional mortgage consultation guidance to ensure the terms received are optimal for you.

The major advantage is in payment distribution: while a regular bank loan is usually given for a period of up to 5-7 years with high monthly repayments, an all-purpose mortgage can be spread over up to 30 years, significantly reducing the monthly repayment and easing the family cash flow.

When Should You Consider an All-Purpose Mortgage?

Property Renovation and Expansion

Interested in upgrading your home, adding a room, or renovating the kitchen? Such a loan allows financing comprehensive renovation with comfortable repayment terms, which also increases your property value in the end.

Helping children purchase a home

Many parents use the equity locked in their home to help their children with the initial down payment required for mortgage consultation for their children's first apartment.

Loan Consolidation and Overdraft Closure

If you have accumulated several short-term loans at high interest rates, consolidating them into one mortgage spread over a long term can reduce the monthly repayment by thousands of shekels and provide breathing room.

Business or Real Estate Investment

Leveraging the existing property for purchasing an additional investment property or injecting capital into a business. This is a powerful tool for investors and business owners interested in growth.

  • • Financing percentage: You can receive up to 50% of the property value (including the existing mortgage, if any). For example, if the house is worth 2 million ₪ and there's a mortgage of 500 thousand ₪, you can receive another 500 thousand ₪.
  • • Interest rates: Interest rates for all-purpose mortgages are usually slightly higher than those for housing mortgages, due to higher risk for the bank, but still significantly lower than regular commercial loans.
  • • Loan period: Distribution of up to 30 years, allowing low and convenient monthly repayment.

Why is Professional Mortgage Consultation Important?

The process of taking an all-purpose mortgage is no less complex than a regular mortgage. Banks carefully examine the purpose of the money and the borrowers' repayment capacity. Professional mortgage consultation is critical in several aspects:

First, an experienced consultant will know how to present the application to the bank in the most appropriate way to prevent rejection. Second, in the process of mortgage refinancing and improving terms, the new loan can be combined with the existing mortgage in a way that saves unnecessary interest payments. Finally, building the right mix will protect you from future index and interest rate increases.

Important tip: Home upgraders can also use this tool as a bridge loan until selling the old property, as part of mortgage consultation for home upgraders.
