efore approaching lenders, you should get to know some basic mortgage concepts. You can start by visiting the glossary section and read up on mortgage-related terms.

Get pre-approved: Pre-approval of a mortgage is when your lender has reviewed all your ďŹ nancial information and has determined the maximum amount of money you can borrow.

Mortgage payment tips: Whether you’re a ďŹ rst-time buyer or you’ve decided to reďŹ nance your home, consider the following money-saving steps when calculating your mortgage payments: By shortening your loan repayment or amortization period to 20 years from 25 years, you’ll pay your mortgage off ďŹ ve years sooner.

You’ll pay higher monthly payments, but you’ll build equity faster and you’ll pay less in interest over the long term.

Apply for a prepayment opTION )F YOU RECEIVE ONE YOU CAN directly pay down some of your principal before it’s due. Make sure to check for prepayment penalties.

By paying biweekly instead of monthly, you’ll make 26 payments in a year or 13 months instead of just 12 months and reduce your amortization to about 20 years from 25 years.

OCEANVIEW HOME IN FRENCH CREEK

Park-like one half acre (110 x 198) in the village neighbourhood of QualicumBeach, this property is priced $75,000 below assessed value and must be sold. This type of lot is not easy to find and the R 14 zoning allows for a home and garden cottage. An older style 3 bedroom home could provide revenue until you are ready to renovate or redevelop.

Don’t miss this opportunity.

163 Sunningdale Road East, Qualicum Beach

Here is a great buy-up opportunity. With interest rates at historic lows, this is a perfect time to buy enough room for your growing family. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home has had the roof, windows, and much of the flooring replaced. There is potential here for a suite if desired. Level, flat fenced yard would work for a daycare and is nears shopping, schools and transit.

OUT GROWING YOUR PRESENT SPACE?

For no more than you would pay for rent in a similar sized home, with 5% down you could own this and start to build equity for your future. Over 900 square feet of living space, a fenced yard with good sized shed, there is room for a couple or small family here. Walk to Oceanside Place, Oceanside School or Wembley Mall or catch transit close by to Nanaimo. Why pay someone else’s mortgage for them?

710 Kasba Circle, French Creek

Convenience and security are combined in the Hawthorne Place complex in the centre of Qualicum Village. Here you will find the privacy of your own home with the assurance that help is close if required. This unit is now priced lower than renting the same unit would cost even if a mortgage is required.
