Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step when getting a mortgage?
The first step is understanding your current financial position. That usually means reviewing your income, debts, credit, down payment and approximate monthly budget before you start looking at properties.
A mortgage pre-approval can help establish a realistic price range and identify any issues that should be addressed before you make an offer.
How much mortgage can I afford?
The amount you may qualify for depends on your income, debts, down payment, credit, mortgage rate and expected housing costs.
But the maximum mortgage a lender will approve is not necessarily the amount you should borrow. Your mortgage payment should leave room for savings, emergencies and the rest of your financial life.
How much down payment do I need to buy a home?
The minimum down payment depends on the purchase price and type of mortgage. In many cases, buyers can purchase with less than 20% down, although mortgage default insurance may then be required.
You should also keep money available for closing costs rather than using every available dollar for the down payment.
Should I get pre-approved before looking for a home?
Yes. A mortgage pre-approval can help you understand your approximate buying range before you start making offers.
It can also uncover credit, income or documentation issues early, when there is still time to address them.
A pre-approval is not final mortgage approval, because the property and your financial circumstances still need to satisfy the lender's requirements.
Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage?
Neither option is automatically better.
A fixed-rate mortgage generally provides greater interest-rate certainty, while a variable-rate mortgage exposes you to changes in the lender's prime rate.
The right choice depends on your budget, tolerance for changing rates, future plans and the features of the specific mortgage.
When should I start thinking about my mortgage renewal?
Ideally, several months before your mortgage reaches maturity.
Starting early gives you time to compare your current lender's offer with other options and decide whether you want to renew, switch lenders or refinance.
Waiting until the final few days can limit your choices.
Can I use the equity in my home?
Potentially. Homeowners with sufficient equity may be able to access it through refinancing or a home equity line of credit.
Home equity can be used for purposes such as renovations, debt consolidation, another property or major planned expenses.
Because the borrowing is secured against your home, the purpose and repayment plan matter.
Can I use my mortgage to consolidate debt?
Potentially. If you have enough available home equity and qualify for additional financing, higher-interest debts such as credit cards or unsecured loans may sometimes be consolidated through mortgage financing.
The goal should be to improve your overall financial position, not simply reduce the monthly payment while extending the debt over many more years.
Why use a mortgage broker instead of going directly to a bank?
A bank generally offers its own mortgage products.
A mortgage brokerage can explore options from a broader range of lenders, which may include banks, credit unions, monoline lenders and other mortgage providers.
The value is not simply finding a rate. A mortgage professional can also help compare lender requirements, penalties, flexibility and mortgage structures based on your situation.
