FAQ

Mortgage answers for
your next chapter.

Real questions from Winnipeg buyers in their 20s and 30s — first homes, refinances, and rental properties.

First-time buyers

For homes under $500,000, the minimum is 5%. Between $500K–$1.5M, it’s 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the rest. Under 20% down, default insurance (CMHC, Sagen, or Canada Guaranty) applies. First-time buyers can also tap the FHSA (up to $40K tax-free), RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan ($60K), and the First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit.

First-time buyers

Most A-lenders look for 680+, but we’ve placed clients with scores in the low 600s through alternative lenders. More important than the number is the story behind it — recent late payments, high utilization, or thin credit can often be fixed in 60–90 days with a quick plan.

First-time buyers

Pre-approvals typically hold for 90–120 days, and yes — your rate is held during that window. If rates drop before you close, we re-shop and pass the lower rate along. If they rise, you’re protected at the original quote.

Refinancing

It depends on three things: your prepayment penalty (IRD vs. 3-month interest), the rate gap, and how long you have left in the term. We run a free break-even analysis — if you don’t recover the penalty within 18–24 months through interest savings, we’ll tell you to wait.

Refinancing

Yes. You can refinance up to 80% of your home’s current value and roll credit cards, car loans, or lines of credit into one lower mortgage payment. For many young families, this frees up $800–$2,000/month in cash flow — but only when paired with a plan to stay debt-free going forward.

Refinancing

A refinance replaces your mortgage with a new one (usually at a lower rate, fixed payment). A HELOC is a revolving line secured by your home — flexible, interest-only minimums, but at higher variable rates. For renovations or investing, we often recommend a hybrid: smaller mortgage + HELOC for flexibility.

Investment

Most lenders require 20% down on a rental (or 25% on multi-units). They’ll add 50–80% of projected rental income to your qualifying income, and stress-test you at the higher of your contract rate +2% or 5.25%. Owning your principal residence first makes the math significantly easier.

Investment

For buyers in their 20s and 30s, this is one of the smartest plays in Winnipeg. Live in one unit, rent the other, qualify with only 5–10% down (owner-occupied multi-unit programs), and let the tenant cover most of your mortgage. We’ve helped dozens of clients build their portfolio this way.

Investment

Absolutely. We refinance or add a HELOC against your principal residence to fund the down payment on rental #1. The interest on the borrowed portion is tax-deductible when used for investment. This is the most common path for young investors who don’t have $80K sitting in cash.
