Look At Properties Without Needing Your Cheque Book

When most folks are just starting to think about buying a condo or house, they typically don’t have an accurate idea of what they can get for the money. They’re often worried that they’re too far away from the time they want to seriously start looking and don’t want to bother an agent to see some homes just for the experience.

The Market Experience Tour is designed to help you get a feel for what’s out there in the market in the neighbourhoods and price ranges that you feel comfortable with, without you having to worry about bringing your cheque book along.

This Tour is not designed to find your dream home… it provides an opportunity for you to get educated and find out what home styles, layouts and price ranges work best for you well before you’re ready to seriously start your home search.

Market Experience Tours happen almost every day of the week… just pick the time, price range and neighbourhoods that suit your lifestyle.

Avoid Costly Mistakes When Getting Pre-Approved For A Mortgage

Understanding what is involved in arranging the perfect mortgage for your lifestyle is critical when buying a condo or house.

How Large A Mortgage Do You Qualify For?

Often people mistakenly think that going to an online site or having a quick, casual conversation with a bank rep to find out everything they need about getting a mortgage approval but this is absolutely not the case.

The perfect solution to getting a full mortgage pre-approval is to have a private, in-depth conversation with a mortgage professional who will review your personal financial situation and offer options about the best way to move forward.

A typical Mortgage Consultation takes about 20-30 minutes and you’ll walk away with a mortgage pre-approval that you can feel confident about.

You’ve read up about how the home buying process works, you’ve been receiving some targeted listings from various Toronto neighbourhoods, you’ve been on on a few (or several) Market Experience Tours to get a feel for the current market and your full mortgage pre-approval is in place.

The next big step is to meet up with your buyer agent for a comprehensive, in-office or online Buyer Consultation so you’re fully prepared when you hit the bricks looking for that perfect condo or house.

A Buyer Consultation with an experienced, professional agent should take approximately 60 minutes… there’s a lot to cover and understand and you don’t want to make any mistakes or get stressed out in the process.

Exclusively For Toronto Condo Or House INVESTORS…

Investing in real estate is one of the best things you can do to secure your future retirement years. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the excellent, leveraged ROI that real estate provides.

Of course, you need a seasoned Realtor to help you with your purchases to make sure you’re making an excellent buying decision but that’s not all you need.

Once you’ve purchased, the two things you’re going to look forward to are finding the best tenant and, when it comes time to sell, dealing in the best way possible with the capital gains tax that our lovely CRA will want to collect.

I’ve written books on each of those two subjects and the Investor University information is derived from them.

You can read the chapters you’re most interested in on the Investor page (then see the Menu on the top right of the page) OR you can download each (or both) of the books as a PDF which you can then read at your leisure.
