Master the Art of Financing Your Real Estate Investments in Ontario
Ensuring you have the right financial strategy is critical, whether you’re interested in residential real estate, commercial real estates, or REIT real estate. This comprehensive guide, brought to you by CM Realty Group, is your roadmap to smart property investment in the Canadian real estate market.
Conventional Bank Loans
Conventional bank loans are a common choice for financing investment properties, especially residential property or commercial properties. These loans typically require a 30% down payment and offer varying loan rates based on your credit score. Understanding the current mortgage rates and requirements can help you prepare for your investment journey.
Hard Money Loans
Ideal for property flipping and short-term rental, hard money loans focus more on the property’s profitability than your credit history. While these loans offer easier qualifications, especially for those with bad credit, they come with higher interest rates and fees. Use a loan calculator to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Private Money Loans
Private money loans offer flexibility and can be sourced from individuals you have a relationship with, like friends or family. Always consider the potential personal impact and secure these loans with a legally binding contract. Consult a financial advisor for tailored advice.
Tapping Home Equity
Utilize the equity in your existing property for investment calculations through methods like home equity loans, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), or cash-out refinancing. Each has its pros and cons based on your investment strategy and risk tolerance. Your net worth can significantly benefit from smart use of home equity.
