I’ve had a lot of inquiries lately about the mortgage changes that the Canadian government recently imposed in April.  All the inquirers were concerned that they needed 20% down.   WRONG!   A bank must have told you that!!!  HA!

If you are purchasing a home and have a regular job then all you need is 5% down!  That’s a huge difference!  Rental purchases, self employed people and refinances are different.  So check with me first.

Now aren’t you glad that you read this blog!
