Purchase Plus Improvements

Viewing properties can be exciting at first, but what happens when nothing fits the bill? Enter the Purchase Plus Improvements Program!

Cover the cost of approved renovations by adding funds to your mortgage. New roof, windows, furnace, kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and more. The Program opens up more options to buyers and allows you to make a house a home.

If you have improvements in mind and do not have the savings to cover the cost, consider funding the renovations through your mortgage.

Interest rates on mortgages are typically lower than unsecured debt such as credit cards and lines of credit which means that more of each payment will be applied to the debt itself, helping you become debt free faster. Though in the future you can access your home’s equity by refinancing, you are limited to a maximum of 80% of the property value.

Unless you contributed a significant down payment, made prepayments on your mortgage, or market values have increased, you will likely need to pay down your mortgage for many years before you can access equity for renovations. With careful consideration of both the aesthetics and mechanical systems of the property, you can set yourself up for success.

I would highly recommend The Mortgage Advisors as a broker for the two following reasons:
1) I secured the best rate possible
2) Lisa. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and a great communicator. She provided me with more information than any of the large lenders ever did and as a first time home buyer this was highly appreciated. Her responsiveness to questions helped me quickly understand the process and make good decisions.

Even without the lower rate I believe I still would have chosen to do business with The Mortgage Advisors purely based on my experience dealing with Lisa.

I cannot thank Corinna and Lisa enough! Not only do they make sure everything is in order right from the minute you start working with them, but they keep you updated every step of the way. I was completely new to how the process worked with refinancing my home, Lisa was patient and so knowledgeable, answering all of my questions in great detail and in a timely manner. I recommend the mortgage advisors to anyone in need of this type of service, you will not be disappointed. Many thanks to all the work that was done for us to make this happen!
