It is said “Land is a big deal” and indeed it is. Land purchase and land financing is one of the most sophisticated, time consuming  and rigid processes in our industry. From a financing point of view, we consider land to be an investable asset when that land has potential for residential or commercial development at some point in the near future. While you may assume that every piece of land has the potential to be developed, however, depending on the stage in which the land falls under, it may take some steps before you can move onto the development phase.

COVID has brought us a challenging year full of unpleasant news, uncertainty, stress, and troubles. However, on the positive side, financially, it creates some opportunities. The most outstanding one is the “All-time Low Mortgage Rates”!

We have been through a year full of unpleasant news, uncertainty, and instability. The good news is that it is over, and it is now behind us. We came out of it much stronger to a brighter and better future. 

Given the large financial commitment of a mortgage, it's surprising that so many homeowners sleepwalk through the mortgage renewal process and don't look at all their options in the marketplace. Many accept whatever their lender offers or just have a short negotiation to shave a few points off.

Generally speaking, private mortgages are not perceived as a pleasant solution in the eyes of the majority of borrowers. This is because they are expensive in nature, but there is a reason behind the costly nature of their funds. Let’s take a closer look at why it is so and what problems can be solved by private lending solutions.

Did you know that not all “A” products offered by major banks are the “ace products?” So if you’re looking for a mortgage getting one from schedule A lenders shouldn’t be your priority. After the introduction of B20 in 2011, and later the stress test rules in 2018, the mortgage industry has become more complicated than ever. A few years ago, we used to have straight-forward, limited options. But these days, even with the schedule A lenders such as charter banks, you might find various features or offers on the same product from different lenders.

Whether it’s our work schedule or social life, there is no denying that COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down. However, that doesn’t mean that you should stop planning for a prosperous future for you and your family, especially when it comes to purchasing a home.

Prepare Your Down-payment Account:

If your down-payment comes from your own savings, ensure that the source of all large deposits is trackable and tracible. According to the Anti-Money Laundering Act, all lenders in Canada are obliged to make an enquiry and do their due diligence to ensure that the source of down-payment is legitimate and clear. As a rule of thumb, they would ask you to provide a minimum three-month history from your savings account. If there is any large deposit into your account during that period, be prepared to provide some additional documentation to prove the source of it.

Securing a mortgage is getting increasingly challenging, which makes it best to hire a professional that can guide you through the entire process of applying for a pre-approval to collecting the house keys.

Regardless of whether you have set “financial improvement” as one of your resolutions for 2020 or not, it is vital to understand that everyone faces financial challenges from time to time. To overcome economic hardships that could force you to live from paycheck to paycheck or accumulate heaps of debt, it is vital to watch your cash flow and improve how you utilize your money.

Although, both rates have its own pros and cons, they both are highly dependent on the borrower circumstance. But before we want to identify which one is better for each given situation, we need to define the characteristic of each rate and what their differences are.

Purchasing your first home can be an exciting experience, but monetary constraints can force you to postpone your decision. After all, buying a house is a significant financial undertaking that takes years to repay. Fortunately, the Canadian Government offers a variety of grants and special programs for first-time homebuyers to help meet their housing needs. Taking advantage of these incentives will ease your financial burden and may even alleviate some of the stress.
