Optimizing Your Financing
Financing goes beyond just rates. I guide you based on your short-term and long-term objectives, advising on the most strategic down payment amount.
- Duplex: 5%
- Triplex: 10%
- Quadruplex: 10%
- Single-family Home: 5%
- Divided Condo: 5%
- Undivided Condo: 20%
Upon lender approval, you'll receive a pre-qualification certificate, vouching for your financial capability to sellers and putting you in a favorable position in competitive situations.
For a duplex, the minimum down payment is only 5%. This is one of the significant advantages of a duplex compared to a triplex or a fourplex. In fact, the down payment for a duplex is the same as that for a condominium or a single-family home. However, to benefit from this minimal down payment, there are 2 conditions to meet.
You must live in one of the units (owner-occupied). You must take out mortgage insurance. If you're not keen on bearing the costs of SCHL or other mortgage insurance, you'll need to put down a 20% down payment.
Just like with a duplex, the minimum down payment for a triplex is determined by the owner-occupied criterion. If you live in the building and take out insurance, the bank will require a minimum down payment of 10% for your triplex. Otherwise, the standard rate of a 20% down payment will be required.
If you're even more ambitious and have your sights set on a fourplex, there's no change from the previous case. The minimum down payment for a fourplex is indeed 10%. This threshold is again contingent on taking out mortgage insurance. And if you prefer to skip it, you'll once again need to advance a 20% down payment for the purchase of your fourplex.
