Unfortunately, not. under this program, applicants must have at least 5% down and a maximum of 14.99% down to take advantage of this program.
Despite popular misconception, no, the government is not paying for your down payment. The First Time Home Buyer Incentive Program is simply designed to lower mortgage payments for first time home buyers by providing them with an equity shared interest and payment free mortgage loan in addition to their regular mortgage. Applicants will need to meet all regular requirements and terms of a traditional insured mortgage. Once these requirements are met, the Canadian government will provide up to 10% of the purchase price of a newly constructed home, or 5% of the purchase price of a resale home (home that has had a previous owner). This loan would be IN ADDITION to your minimum 5 % down payment. This loan will have to be paid back in full within 25 years, or if the home is sold, whichever occurs first. If the value of the home increase/decreases, and there are any capital gains/ losses, the government will participate in the gains/losses with you, as they will share the equity. Total borrowing under this program is limited to 4 times the applicant’s income.
You qualify for this incentive program if;
At least 1 applicant is a first-time home buyer, all applicants are legally authorized to work in Canada, and the total income on the application does not exceed $120,000. All requirements for a traditional insured mortgage must also be met.
Unfortunately, not. under this program, applicants must have at least 5% down and a maximum of 14.99% down to take advantage of this program.
When you sell your home, you MUST pay the loan back. If a sale does not occur, you may choose to pay the loan back in full at anytime before 25 years has elapsed. At 25 years, you must pay it back. This loan must be paid back in full and cannot be partially paid back.
At the time of repayment, you will pay back the full equity stake. For example; let’s assume you purchase a condo for $200,000 and borrowed 5% from the govt ($10,000). Lets also assume in 10 years you sell the condo and the value has increased to 250,000K. The amount you would pay back would be 5% of $250,000K ($12,500). In this same scenario if the value dropped to $150,000 when you sold, you would pay back 5% of $150,000 ($7500). The Mortgage Force Team is an authorized originator of this incentive program. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Give us a call to get started or fill out our online mortgage application form!
We worked with Jody Vig, and she was absolutely amazing. She helped us find the right mortgage solution to make the dream of owning our new home a reality. I would 100% recommend The Mortgage Force Team! My husband and I will definitely be calling Jody for our next home purchase and all our other mortgage needs! Thank you so much!
With the first purchase of a home, we contacted Jody and were extremely pleased with the dedication she showed during the entire process. Not only was she friendly, and kind, but she welcomed us into the process of getting set up for a mortgage so there was no room for confusion. When we did hit an obstacle, she worked extra hard to ensure it didn’t negatively affect the mortgage rate we could get. Highly recommend working with her and cannot say thank you enough!

We were trying to buy an investment property. But due to my wife’s low credit score, it is difficult to secure a loan. Jody from the Mortgage Force helped on this matter. She worked very hard. She contacted different vendors. Finally she was able to get a mortgage with satisfied rate. She is responsive, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend her if you want to get a mortgage.
I would like to thank Jody for helping me and my partner get approved for our first home. Jody is an amazing broker and she was always readily available to answer any questions that we had (as a new home buyer I had A LOT). Jody was very patient throughout the entire process and made the experience of getting a home very comfortable. I’m very happy with the rate that we got. Thank you so much. 🙂
p.s this company came at the recommendation of my friend Dima Perelman and I’m very happy that I went with his suggestion.

Jody is the person to see if you’re looking for a mortgage. It’s like getting advice from an old, trusted, and caring friend or family member. She determines your needs, provides you with (and explains) the most viable options, and then quickly implements action. After our first experience with her years ago, retaining her services again was a no-brainer.

All I can say is, WOW!!! The patience, the care, the coaching. this journey started with a lot of coaching from Mortgage specialist with Dominion Lending, Jody.

Being a single mom with rent, groceries, and all the living expenses to cover, I was not able to save up any down payment. Jody was actually able to put me in a program which allowed me to borrow my down payment from the line of credit I had. Thanks to her, I took possession my new condo on Nov 11, 2015
