​Your mortgage questions answered

There are many different types of mortgages you can get. Examples include: 

  • Conventional – a good option for those with a 20% down payment
  • High ratio – a good option for those who have less than a 20% down payment
  • Purchase Plus Improvements – a good option for those who are buying a fixer-upper or plan to do immediate renovations to their home
  • Collateral – a good option for those who want to include a loan or line of credit secured by their property

  • Construction – a good option for those who want to build their dream home from the ground up

  • And more! 

Not sure which type of mortgage you need? No problem! Our experts can help you assess the options based on your home-buying plans.

You can buy a home with as little as 5% down payment. But, if you have less than 20% set aside, your mortgage will be considered “high ratio”. This means that it will automatically include mandatory insurance. 

The exact insurance amount will depend on:

  • Home price
  • Mortgage amortization period
  • How much down payment you have saved 

Our experts can help you understand whether a high ratio mortgage is right for you and what your insurance premiums might look like.
