FREQuently asked questions
Can I buy a home with no down payment?
The down payment is an essential part of your purchase. There are private lenders who offer mortgages with zero down, but the interest rate will likely be much higher and the cost to you will be much greater in the long run. This is generally not recommended while buying a home. Don’t cut corners and risk your home and investment. Save up at least five per cent of the purchase price, and consider reducing your home-buying budget to make it more affordable.

The Site
Beyond location, look at the site of the home. Do you have lots of stairs to climb? Do the neighbors windows look directly into the home? Is the front yard suitable for kids or pets? Is access to the property safe regarding the curb driveway, or stairs to the front door?
Windows & Lighting
Do you love a bright sunny room or do you love privacy? Look at your potential home with light and sunshine in mind. Look at locations of electrical outlets. Will they suit your lighting needs?
The Kitchen
If a good kitchen is something you want most do not settle for one that won’t work well. Re-modelling is very expensive. Do not consider appliances but more of countertops and cabinet fixtures.
