No downpayment mortgages


Just after the mortgage crisis of 2008-2009 many heard banks, trust companies, insurance companies and mortgage companies changed their mortgage product offerings.  In some cases lenders tightened up their qualifications, other situations lenders folded because their business models did not support profitability in today's mortgage climate (eg Accredited Home Lenders, Wells Fargo (Canada), Xceed Mortgage).

One of the first products that the government of Canada took off the shelf was the ability for mortgage insurers like CMHC, Genworth and AIG to insure mortgages with no money down.  A deadline of October 13, 2008 was given for these types of mortgages which caused for many to feel the pressure of purchasing a home with no money down.  As a result these people, in most cases, ended up frantically looking for a home before their approvals expired and they were no longer able to buy their home.

You can still buy a home with
NO MONEY DOWN!

The ability to buy a home with no money down is still available, however, the process is not as straight forward as it used to be and there are only a few lenders that are still doing it (and only ONE of the major banks).  Today, buying a home without any money is done through the use of a cash back mortgage.  Simply put, you get approved for financing with 5% down.  On closing, the lender provides your lawyer a cash back incentive of 5% (the amount of the incentive can vary between lenders) and this incentive cash is then used as your down payment.  This has the same effect as buying a home with no money down.

Qualifiying for no downpayment mortgage can be more difficult than if you have a downpayment available, but if you have solid credit (no bankruptcy, nothing in collections, all credit bills up to date) and have a stable, full-time source of income, you may be closer than you think to breaking the cycle of renting and owning your own home.
