Why you should own real estate.
How I Can Help You With Your Real Estate Purchase
As an experienced mortgage professional and real estate investor myself, I can help you maximize your investment by helping you save money.
If You're A First Time Buyer
A beneficial step to take before looking at homes is ensuring your mortgage financing is pre-approved and you are comfortable with the price point.
We can well establish all of this in a pre-approval consultation which will ultimately assist you in determining what you can afford and how much your mortgage payment will be. In the appointment, we will also discuss costs associated with buying a home such as heating, property taxes and maintenance costs. Additionally, we will review your current credit score together along with your income to ensure you can afford your mortgage. To learn more about pre-approvals CLICK HERE.
Other common questions:
What type of mortgage should you consider?
Most borrowers want to know which type of mortgage would be best for them. The two most popular options are currently a fixed rate mortgage and a variable rate mortgage.
What is a fixed rate mortgage?
A fixed rate mortgage has a set interest rate that will not change for the entire term of your mortgage.
What is a variable rate mortgage?
A variable rate will change according to the overnight lending rate. The best way to determine whether a variable rate would be best for you is to look at historical data around the economic cycles plus interest rates in the past to help you make a sound decision. As a mortgage professional, it is my job to help you determine your level of risk tolerance when it comes mortgage rate and help you make the best decision.
Your Down Payment
A common question I get asked is how much of a down payment is required to purchase a property. Many people, including second or third time-buyers, assume they need a large down payment in order to get the best mortgage with the best interest rates. This is simply not true. I can help you decide how much a down payment you'll need to get the property you want. I'll also help you pick an affordable mortgage amount you can manage.
According to insurance companies such as CMHC and Genworth, a purchaser is only required to purchase with as little as 5 per cent down and still get the absolute best rates, sometimes even better than borrowers putting down more than 20 per cent.
What type of income qualifies?
- Paying a mortgage instead of rent: When you make a mortgage payment each month, you build equity in a place of your own (unlike a rent payment).
- Appreciation: Unlike most things you purchase, a home will almost certainly increase in value over time – which builds even more equity and allows you to leverage that equity to buy property such as rental properties, commercial real estate and so on.
- Costs: A mortgage payment is usually cheaper than a monthly rental instalment because it’s amortized over the long term. This can help you recover cash flow each month while obtaining a share of the real estate market.
