Zero Down Mortgage Reviews from Alberta

"To start you guys are so great to deal with! Terry was fantastic! One of my coworkers is just in the process of getting a mortgage through you as well; so far Terry has been great for them. We are not first time home buyers; but come renewal time you may just hear from us again! Thanks for the fantastic service."



"Now that were in the house and unpacked and have painted some walls it really feels like home and looking back I am glad we made the decision to go about it this way. I feel that if I would have waited to save I would have thrown more money out the window and it could have been another 3 years before we bought."



"You guys were great to work with. You were always available to be contacted even outside of what are usually most peoples regular business hours. You made the process easy and helped me get into the home I now love and has been there for me since with looking at purchasing a second home."

What are the costs

There are two extra costs involved in a zero down mortgage, as well as two substantial benefits. A slightly higher CMHC premium is the first cost; a one time charge of $250 for every $100,000 borrowed that is added to your mortgage so you don’t have to pay it up front.

The second cost is the additional interest on the borrowed down portion, which is more significant. Use our Zero Down Payment Mortgage Cost Calculator and see what your numbers are!

What are the benefits

With the zero down payment mortgage, you can enjoy two significant benefits. The first is the time you will save trying to produce a down payment. This could mean living in your own home years sooner than expected; for some families, this might be a very valuable factor. The second benefit is more tangible: the equity earned through home appreciation and paying down your own mortgage instead of your landlord’s. The amount might be more than you think, depending on how long it would have taken to save up a down payment. You can find out by using the cost calculator, which estimates using a conservative home appreciation rate of 3%.
