WH Y S H O U LD YO U U SE A
MORTGAGE BROKER? When you are ready to start looking at buying a home, you will need to first determine who you will want to work with to get financed. Traditionally, most people will use either a mortgage broker or a bank. Your parents probably dealt with a bank to buy their first home, but times are changing. According to Mortgage Professionals Canada, about 28% of Canadians use a mortgage broker to arrange their mortgage and about 47% of all first-time home buyers used a mortgage broker. Fitting into your bank ‘s box is more difficult than ever before due to the credit crisis that began in 2008, and banks’ boxes have shrunk considerably. Even if you do fit in their box, is their box appropriate for you? Going to a mortgage broker will open your options up to a variety of different programs and lenders that can ultimately get you a better rate and save you money in the long term. Mortgage brokering used to be primarily for “subprime” mortgages (individuals with poor credit or other unique circumstances). But happily, that is no longer the case. With your busy work schedules and life a mortgage broker can do all the research for you to ensure your mortgage rate is the lowest based on all your specific criteria. And that is why the experts at TEAM FARHAN are here for you!

HUMBER BAY SHORES:
Opportunities for Buyers on a Budget.
TACKLING AFFORDABILITY: 5 TIPS FROM A REAL ESTATE PRO
OUCH! That is what buyers are saying, along with other X-rated expletives. Slammed by stratospheric price, smacked by scarce inventory and squeezed by mobs of bully offers, Toronto purchasers are facing a brutal affordability crisis of epic proportions. Take heart, dear reader. Here are some survival strategies:
1.
2.
3.
THINK CONDOS: The average price of a condominium is $750K, about half the cost of a most GTA homes at $1.5M. For example, Humber Bay Shores, a booming waterfront community where I live and work, is a pennypincher’s paradise. Prices are well below downtown values. You can still find a few suites from $499K. Yes, they are tiny, but that is how you get started up the property ladder. Start small. Finish rich. TAP THE ROYAL BANK OF MOM & DAD: On bended-knee, ask your kind parents for an advance in your inheritance. Lenders report that this is a growing financing trend, especially among Millennials. Family members are providing gifts or loans for down payments or co-signing mortgages. Keep in close touch with your spinster aunt. She could catapult your tycoon plans. Kin crowd-funding might be the best source of your seed capital. CREATE A JOINT VENTURE: Form a group, team, or small partnership of co-owners. Pool your capital and have an iron-clad JV agreement drawn up by a lawyer. Choose you partners from trusted friend, relatives or colleagues. Shared ownership is an extension of the OPM principal for investing using Other Peoples’ Money. This is how I got started when I was young and broke. I set up real estate syndicates with some 500 women investors. It worked.

HUNT FOR BARGAINS: Do your research. Become annoyingly knowledgeable about real estate trends and active listings. Look for motivated sellers like estate sales, corporate transfers, split-ups, bank liquidations and strapped investor They are out there. Always ask why they are selling? Don’t be afraid of fixer-uppers. A quick lipstick reno boosts profits. The key is to add value. The secret of the universe is: buy low, sell high. FIND A WARRIOR REALTOR: Retain a high-voltage realtor, part gladiator, part detective, part activist for the downtrodden. Experience matters. Ask about their own portfolio and property successes. Most importantly, select a local agent who is an expert in your target area. Reach out for advice from rock star realtors. Most are happy to help. Don’t be shy to contact me anytime for informed guidance and free psychotherapy to handle the house-hunting stress. I speak fluent real estate and my middle name is Sherlock.
