Unless you have very deep pockets or have inherited a pile of bricks and mortar, the chances are you’ll need a mortgage to buy your first property. A mortgage is simply money taken on credit that is used to buy a property. A down payment is required to pay for a portion of the property yourself, while the mortgage will cover the remaining amount. I am Jeff Cody, a mortgage broker with Platinum Mortgages Ottawa (Mortgage Architects). I want to help educate first-time buyers about what they require to obtain a mortgage. This is why I have prepared a beginner’s guide to obtaining a mortgage. Upon request, I can also send you a more comprehensive buyer’s guide.
