Best answer:

Answer by Doctor Deth
technically, you aren’t eligible for it until the house closes and you would have to wait until you file for tax return next year – lenders may allow some kind fo bridge loan or something

Question by Shelly C: I’ll be a first time home buyer. Are there any programs that will help me save money on a mortgage? Advice?
I’m prepping to buy my first home but have not found a mortgage agent yet. Is there any advice on government programs for first time buyers? I’m looking for the best advice to save money on a mortgage. Does anyone have any advice on how to buy smart when dealing with real estate agents? Any tricks on how to deal with them. I really want to avoid getting taken of advantage of. Your advice is really appreciated! Thanks!

Real Estate Agent?
Ouch…
If you’re looking to buy a home you need to buy them wholesale and you can’t get those from realtors. You need an education on buying properties visit www.platinumreic.com fill out the form and they’ll get back with you. Also first time buyer you need a HUD loan as they give you tons of protection conventional loans don’t. They can see if you qualify for that as well.

First Time Home Buyer Mortgage Benefits; What are They? Can You Use Them?

MortgagesInVancouver asked:


leahcoss.ca Many people get very hung up on retaining or using their first time home buyer status. When I ask them why, they are often unsure of what the savings exactly are and if they even qualify based on the home they are buying. Really, when it comes down to it, there are just 2 main benefits to being a first time home buyer and it really depends on you and where you are buying to see if this will effect you at all. 1. As a First time Home Buyer you are allowed to pull out up to $25000 of RRSPs Tax Free. If you pull out any more than $25000 then you will be taxed on that money but for the most part $25000 will be a big help. Now, if you do not have any RRSPs then obviously this is not much of a benefit for you. If you plan to save up RRSPs in the future but will be buying a house in the meantime then unfortunately you will not be able to take advantage of this benefit. Once you buy a home that you are on title to you lose your first time home buyer status. 2. You are able to save on your property transfer tax when you buy your first home up to a purchase price of $425000. (with a sliding scale up to $450000 but that is a long complicated story). So what does this mean? Well, if you buy a home for $400000 you will save the $6000 property transfer tax. If, however, you live in an expensive area like Vancouver and are looking to buy a 2 bedroom condo or any kind of a detached home then chances are you can’t find ANYTHING for under $425000 and this benefit does not help

Home Inspection – First Time Buyer

M Siddique asked:




If you’re buying a home for the first time, you certainly have both our joy and our condolences. The myriad of details is tremendous, which are all costing money, like having to come up with the coin for a home inspection fee. So here’s something to make you feel better right away. Gudrun reports that often taxes and stamp duty in Europe are even higher and the cost for a certified a home inspection can be a lot higher than the United States. And it’s still it’s a hit to the wallet, so let’s see what we can do to make a home inspection work to your best advantage.

The first thing to suggest is make sure you also have our research in Home Inspection Overview. Okay! Assuming you have that article in your hand and know how to find someone to do a home inspection that has “papers”, the next thing to do is: ask around. Let experience be the best teacher, to other people and use the information.

Second you have a subject matter expert showing up. Tcat has two words for you: be there. The efficiency of being able to get your questions answered in real time is exceeded only by the comfort of knowing now, what is what. Perhaps also the professional has some great advice.

Third, As we have said in the other articles, don’t get emotionally attached to the specific outcome of any certain house, trying to force fit it in your brain, I am not too a report about the house in question is really a recipe for disaster. If you are really stuck on this location and want it, badly, then at least use the reality that is their in a black-and-white report, that the condition of the house sucks. This will certainly improve your odds of getting a better price on the house leaving your room for repairs. Alternatively, you might be able to get a mortgage for a reduced price, leaving you a few kilo bucks to start the repairs with the highest priority.

As always, every situation is complex and somewhat unique. And yet over and over again we see many of the same mistakes. That would be emotion overriding sound judgment.

Moreover, do not get too “piggy”, creating a win/lose situation.
