With programs available such as the new 40-year amortizations and no money down with a good credit score, it is easier than ever to own a home. And with the current market increase in rent it can sometimes be cheaper to own than it is to rent and there is no fear of your mortgage payments suddenly increasing.[/dfd_info_box][dfd_spacer screen_wide_resolution=”1280″ screen_wide_spacer_size=”50″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″ screen_normal_spacer_size=”40″ screen_tablet_spacer_size=”30″ screen_mobile_spacer_size=”30″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][dfd_info_box icon=”dfd-icon-lock” style=”style-01″ layout=”layout-01″ title=”Security” icon_color=”#000000″ title_font_options=”tag:div|color:%23db182a” subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”]You don’t have to worry about your house being sold out from under you to out-of-province investors. If renting and faced with this scenario, you could find yourself faced with an unreasonable increase to your rent, thereby leaving you potentially homeless or too poor to eat. These increases could continue indefinitely so the investors can make more money or so that you will feel forced to leave and they can turn your building into a condominium.[/dfd_info_box][dfd_spacer screen_wide_resolution=”1280″ screen_wide_spacer_size=”50″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″ screen_normal_spacer_size=”40″ screen_tablet_spacer_size=”30″ screen_mobile_spacer_size=”30″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][dfd_info_box icon=”dfd-icon-bank” style=”style-01″ layout=”layout-01″ title=”Investment” icon_color=”#000000″ title_font_options=”tag:div|color:%23db182a” subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”]The price of real estate continues to increase every year, therefore purchasing real estate is one of the safest long-term investments a person can make. If you had the choice between putting money towards a new car or a new house, a house should win every time as it will appreciate in value over the years whereas a car does the opposite. Once you own one house and build some equity you may also be in a financial position to buy another and rent one out.[/dfd_info_box][dfd_spacer screen_wide_resolution=”1280″ screen_wide_spacer_size=”50″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″ screen_normal_spacer_size=”40″ screen_tablet_spacer_size=”30″ screen_mobile_spacer_size=”30″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][dfd_info_box icon=”dfd-icon-piggy_bank_input” style=”style-01″ layout=”layout-01″ title=”Low Interest Rate” icon_color=”#000000″ title_font_options=”tag:div|color:%23db182a” subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”]Right now we have some great interest rates which will help you get your foot on the first rung of home ownership.

You may then borrow against the equity you have built in your home for a wide variety of reasons including home improvements, paying for school for your children, medical reasons, or even starting your own business. Check with your lender, as these vary from one to the next.[/dfd_info_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][dfd_info_box icon=”dfd-icon-paint_roller” style=”style-01″ layout=”layout-01″ title=”Freedom” icon_color=”#000000″ title_font_options=”tag:div|color:%23db182a” subtitle_font_options=”tag:div” font_options=”tag:div”]You are free to do what you want in your own home, whether you want to paint the walls in pink and black zebra or put carpet on the ceiling (not recommended of course!)
