MORTGAGE matters Myth 1: The maximum amortization time in Canada is 30 years This is not true. If you put in a down payment of at least 20% on an uninsured mortgage, you can still qualify for amortizations of 35 and even 40 years. The advantage here is if you have the funds to put in the required down payment, the longer amortization time reduces the monthly payment amount. You also sidestep the CMHC insurance premium which can translate into substantial savings. Myth 2:You must make at least a 5% down payment Although a down payment of at least 5% is mandatory, there is a way to obtain the funding for it externally. A cash back mortgage is where the borrower receives a cash advance once their loan has been confirmed. There are some cash back products that are can offer 5% cash back or more. The money you receive from these products may be used for your down payment. However, the catch is that you are subject to higher interest rates. Myth 3: My bank will give me the best mortgage rate On the contrary, banks actually profit from
Top 7 mortgage myths customer loyalty because loyal customers “shop around” the least. Most lending institutions generally offer their “posted” rates first, which are significantly higher interest rates compared to what they are willing to negotiate. Mortgage brokers are given discounted rates due to the volume of business they bring to the lenders. Myth 4: I have to pay for a mortgage broker A mortgage broker does not charge the client; their services come at no cost. Only in complicated situations a broker will charge a small fee, such the client being denied a loan due to bad credit, forcing the broker to source through private lending and not a financial institution. Myth 5: A pre-approval means the money is a sure thing Actually, your pre-approval is not written in stone, it is very possible that the agreement could fall through. There’s still plenty of financial paperwork that needs to be resolved afterwards. Once preapproved, lenders will go into more detail to verify your sources of income, debt obligations, and employment letters. In the case of a “high-ratio mortgage” where the down payment is less than 20 %, the
insurer (such as CMHC) provides final approval. It’s always a good idea to add a mortgage contingency to your real estate offer. In the event that your mortgage falls through, you won’t be under any obligation to pay for the property. Myth 6: If you’ve ever been bankrupt, don’t even think about applying for a mortgage Not true. Bankruptcy doesn’t mean the end of the road in terms of home ownership. Far from it – there are actually a number of lenders who specialize in providing mortgages to individuals postbankruptcy. After bankruptcy, ensure that you get a credit card facility that starts reporting and rebuilding your credit. You can build up your credit score and potentially be approved by an ‘A’ lender as soon as two years within being discharged. Myth 7: With a poor credit history, you will never qualify for a mortgage False! ‘B’ and ‘C’ lenders specialize in dealing with clients who have “less than perfect” credit.You will likely have to put in a higher down payment and possibly pay higher interest rates due to the risk, but it’s still possible.

South Point Walk Upscale Living just Steps Away from True Urban Amenities
N
o car is required in the South Point Walk community: endless shops and services are a literal walk away from residents’ front doors. The name of the local independent coffee shop gives good indication of the neighbourhood’s urban vibe: Good Morning Sunshine Cafe, known for great roasted brews and fresh baked goods. From traditional retail offerings to services you didn’t know you couldn’t live without, this thriving community meets the needs of downsizers seeking convenience through to young professionals buying a first home.
Individual homes feature luxury finishes that are well above “usual” offerings and don’t leave buyers wanting for upgrades. Wide plank laminate flooring and 2" white faux wood blinds set off a choice of two colour schemes by Gannon Ross Designs. Gourmet kitchens include shaker style cabinetry, solid Quartzite countertops and Whirlpool stainless steel gas appliances. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature contemporary flat panel cabinetry, solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and even heated tile flooring in the ensuites.
South Point Walk is a new condominium community offering upscale homes in a fabulous urban setting, but with a twist. This community is in the heart of South Surrey — a unique urban neighbourhood with the pricing and home layouts of a suburban housing market. The convenient location is not only pedestrian-friendly, but also offers easy commuting via the nearby Highway 99 and King George Boulevard.
“Home buyers have been really excited about the standard finishings — there isn’t anything left to upgrade,” says Isler. “From rain showerheads to undercabinet lighting to stainless steel appliances, these homes offer real luxury, and at great value.”
The homes’ West Coast contemporary architecture by Robert Ciccozzi Architecture make a stunning first impression, and also offer safety and “Our homes are not traditional suburban offerings — this is a fantasti- solid construction features.
