Historically, buying a home required at least a 5% down payment. This is no longer a hard and fast rule; more options are now available to Canadians. With no strings attached, Alberta Equity can obtain financing for 100% of the appraised value of your future or existing home. If you can afford a mortgage payment but can't come up with the mandatory 5% down payment that most banks require, a No Money Down Mortgage may be right for you. There is a lending company in Canada that offers 100% financing for the purchase of a new or existing home.
DID YOU KNOW: If you're renting, you can probably afford a mortgage. Rather than paying off your landlord's mortgage, you could be paying your own, and building equity in your house.
