Rentals with 10% Only Down Payment!

Since the implementation of Bill B20 it has been mandated that investment property will now require 20% minimum as a down payment.

But here at Mortgage Intelligence Oshawa we are able to offer 10% down to our top tier clients for purchases in Durham Region.

If you have excellent credit, experience buying and holding rentals and you have the down payment from your own resources we can look at your application with only 10% down. So don’t let the lack of a larger down payment stop you from buying that next investment property.

Condo Sales Falling in Toronto – Opportunity???

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining!

Recent reports of a falling sales and investors sitting on the sidelines may just present an opportunity to the seasoned Real Estate Investor.

“Buy Low,  Sell High” is the way investors hope the market will favor them.  The next few months should bring a correction and with that a “Buyers Market”. There are so many condos for sale right now, plus more being built as we speak.

When I came across the article Five Traps to Avoid, When Buying A Condo,  I thought this would be a good time to share it here on the blog. I hope you find it informative, especially if you’ve thought about buying a condo as an investment.

Perhaps the next few months will bring new opportunity for investment in this sector of the housing market. Food for thought: Not everyone who wanted to buy a Condo in the GTA can do so because of the tougher lending guidelines so this could be a good rental option. After all we all need a roof over our heads.

Well Mr. Flaherty, You Sure Did It This Time!

The sudden drop in investor interest has sent shock waves through the industry because, just since 2007, investors have come to dominate the GTA condo market.

In an effort to stop consumer debt from rising,The Minister of Finance has  whacked the Housing Market with a sledge hammer!

As a professional in the financial field I have often scratched my head at the way he went about curtailing consumer spending. His new lending rules have made it harder to buy a home while consumers are still on a spending spree and now the housing market is falling into a slump.

These are your Government dollars at work ladies and gentlemen!

I have traveled the world extensively and I know one thing for certain. House prices in all major cities of the world are sky high. So why anyone would want to put the breaks on this hard because Toronto and Vancouver housing is expensive is mind-boggling. Not to mention the results of the severe tightening aren’t solving the consumer debt issue one single bit!

Think of each and every sector of the economy that employs someone who’s job is related to housing and you can easily predict how much our economy is going to suffer with the hardline actions of the Minister of Finance.

When I saw the article in Moneyville today I thought it was important to share it on this blog. So here’s the link folks.  Read’em and weep!

This blog is just me thinking out loud but I would like to hear what you have to say on the subject so leave me a comment below.
