 Coolness: 509575 | I understand those cons but fact is rent goes 100$ NOT into savings, which is just like shooting yourself in the foot for your future. Besides, there's a lot of money in Real Estate. Soon MY money too... |

 Coolness: 92280 | Are you looking for a place to live or rent? I think you can find some decent prices on 4 plex's.. there's lots in poorer areas. If you wanna live in it you'd still have three places to rent out. Ideally you'd wanna cover your mortgage with 2 of them and then if you have one place empty for a bit it won't have to come out of your pocket. If you don't wanna live there you might be able to cover your mortgage + rent for another place off of the 4 appartments. |

| Coolness: 509575 | It is most definitely to live and I definitely want to avoid those poor areas. My interest would be in plateau, hochelaga, lower westmount and possibly verdun areas. Downtown is obviously desirable but unlikely to fit my budget.
I guess the first step is talking to a bank right? |

 Coolness: 97115 | don't forget the taxes!
It adds like at least 150-200$ a month in Montreal, depending of the value of the house! |

I haven't seen anyone settle for a variable rate since i've started my job here (7 months).. people take Fixed rates and that's all i would recommend !! |

| Coolness: 97115 | Also, don't forget the inflation, it might cost you a lot today, but in 10 years, your salary should go up to, at least, the same rate of the inflation. So, If you pay 1000$ a month today, in 10 years, at the same rate, it will be still 1000$ a month. It will be way more easier to pay! |

 Coolness: 52970 | I have been looking into property a little also.
1st You should calculate what you can afford most lenders dont want you to put more than 32% of your net monthly income towards your housing costs (monthly mortgage payments of principal and interest, taxes, hydro, etc) Usually down payments are about %10 of the value, but if you could put together %25 it would make your life alot easier long-term. While its true that rent is a sunk cost, its not all investment when it comes to owning property. Inspection, legal fees, land transfer fees, property tax (which just went up 20% for Montreal), Insurance, Renovations, furniture, etc.. Also, what people are saying about waiting is true. This site is quite good. It talks about Renting vs. Buying. take a look [ www.moneyproblems.ca ] good luck |

| Coolness: 221780 | Davesob : very good addition to this thread.. the 32% is right on the money.. and it can't cost you more than 40% of your total debts.. meaning that if you have a bank loan and you pay 300$ a month, well, that 300$ plus the rent + heating can't be more than 40% of your salary per month !! |
