Reasons why I want to show these examples:
First time buyers can still get in because some of those examples do have an income suite.
You can get a freehold. So freehold means a property that is not does not have maintenance fees, such as condos for under a million dollars.
Because of lack of competition it might be depending and this is really a personal financial decision is if you are in a good financial position.
Conclusion for first time Homebuyers
The fixed mortgage rates are, for the five year, is over 6%. The Bank of Canada benchmark rate is at 5%. rates are at the highest level they have been for the past 23-24 years. And affordability is an all time low.
This might be a good time for first time homebuyers to get into the market to build equity over time.
This might be a good opportunity for real estate investors because if you can get a property under a million have an income suite depending on the down payment
If you are a first-time homebuyer and not quite sure what to do if you should wait if you should take advantage of some opportunities out there.
On the flip side, if you're a real estate investor, again feel free to reach out. There might be some good opportunities to get under a million for freehold property in Toronto so with two units now, two bedrooms being around that 2,000 to 2,200 depending on location and condition three bedrooms, you're looking at thirty-five, thirty-six monthly rental income.
The numbers could work if you have it set up with the right strategy so you have good tenants with the good pay on both units as well as structure the mortgage into a shorter term I as opposed to a five-year fixed, so there are opportunities out there.
