FINANCIAL
How much can you afford? What type of mortgage is best for you? How much should
your down payment be? Are you eligible for the RSP Home Buyers Withdrawal? What
payment frequency should you choose?
Finding the answers to all your questions about mortgage financing can be a time
consuming and strenuous exercise. Don Wyld can provide you with the resources
you need before buying your home including information and advice on financing
options, mortgage terms, loan types and how to get the most for your money. In
addition, our relationship with The Mortgage Alliance Company of Canada ensures
that we can provide our customers with the best rates and options available.
Do you know how much money will be needed in order to close
your deal? Besides the basic purchase price, buyers face legal fees
(plus GST) and disbursements (plus GST), which are the out-of
pocket expenses a lawyer/notary incurs. Then there are closing
adjustments with the seller - taxes, rental income, condominium
maintenance, and some utility charges. And don't forget about
the costs of arranging a new mortgage which can include application
and appraisal fees. For a resale home, these "extras" can easily add 1½%
to 2% onto the basic purchase price.
Do you know what needs to be done after the deal is closed? Once your offer has
been accepted the work has just begun. Future steps include arranging for monthly
mortgage payments and property taxes, finding the right insurance coverage, transferring
your utilities and arranging for your move, among others.
