How to get into the housing market

If you are currently renting and thinking of finally converting your rental payments into mortgage payments, there' simply a basic process you will have to go through.

As a Home Ownership Consultant, I usually recommend that clients get a mortgage pre-approval. In this way, you know the price range of the property you would eventually purchase.

When the pre-approval has been put in placed, shopping for your home choice comes next. Usually, it is best that you are represented by a buyer's agent. So when you put up an offer, the agent can work on your behalf taking into consideration your situation, condition and interest.

If everything goes well in the transaction and your offer gets accepted, you will have to finally submit the documents the lender and mortgage broker have asked from you to prepare during the earlier stage.

The process can be overwhelming. But when you are working with a real estate professional, then you have somebody supporting and assisting you all throughout. If you're contemplating of getting into the market as a buyer, let me interview you to find out what could be your best option. You can write/email or call me directly.

Why home ownership is attractive to Renters or First-time Buyers?

Richmond, British Columbia, Canada -

These days, renters and first-time home buyers are amazed to find out that one can actually own a home with as little money as possible. Of course, it's been known to many prospective home owners that there's such a thing as zero down or five percent down payment based on approved credit.

With the advent of better financing programs, owning a home in BC, Canada, specifically, has become easier today. The extended amortization period of up to 480 months (40 years), will actually reduce the monthly payment of borrowers. In essence, home renters can enter the housing market by converting their rental payments into mortgage payments.

Although home buyers will have to consider some costs involved, such as legal, property tax, transfer tax and home improvement, they are positive and excited about the idea of finally having a place they can call their own.
