10 Financing Solution Services — explained
1) 2.5% Down Payment Financing
Low-rate facility covering part of your down payment; pair with your primary mortgage via an accredited broker. No prepayment penalty.
2) Insured Mortgages
High-ratio loans supported by mortgage insurance (eligibility & property caps apply). Often lowers the required down payment.
3) Bridge Loans
Short-term funding that closes timing gaps between the sale of your current property and the purchase of the next.
4) Vendor Take-Back (VTB)
Seller provides financing as a second (or shared) mortgage to help you qualify or optimize cash at closing.
5) Rent-to-Own Pathways
Lease with option to purchase; a portion of rent accrues toward your future down payment.
6) Shared Equity / Co-Investment
Equity partner contributes down payment in exchange for a share of future appreciation; lowers monthly payments.
7) HELOC & Second Charge
Revolving/term credit secured by equity for improvements or buffers. Use prudently due to rate variability.
8) Guarantor / Co-Signer
Qualified guarantor strengthens your debt service metrics while you build your own ratios.
9) Government Programs (where available)
Stack credits or shared-equity schemes with your mortgage plan for affordability.
10) Rate Buydown & Blends
Use points or blended structures to reduce early-year payments; revisit at refinance checkpoints.
