will be able to estimate an acceptable debt level. This should not exceed 40 percent of your gross revenue, including all your existing debts.
Find out everything you can on the subject of mortgages and home-buying. For example, you should know that having a mortgage doesn’t always cost less than renting because a home owner must take into account both recurring and one-time expenses, such as municipal and school taxes, maintenance costs, property transfer duties, and legal costs.
DOWN PAYMENT In the past it was possible to borrow for a down payment, with a credit card, for example. This is no longer possible. That means you need to have accumulated some savings before getting into this type of acquisition. If you have an RRSP, it is possible to use that for your down payment through the federal government’s Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP).
If you have done your homework and decided to become a home owner, the next step is to consult a representative at your financial institution. Once you are clear about your assets and liabilities, you

inspected before making an offer to buy, because if your offer is accepted you will be obligated to follow through with the transaction. Obviously it is to your advantage to work with a real estate agent who is subject to real estate law. He or she works for you and will be able to answer any of your questions concerning your purchase.
