Oakville purchases often need a larger down payment than the mortgage payment alone suggests, because prices and land transfer tax both rise with the house.
MKG Mortgages prices the cash to close before you waive a condition in Glen Abbey, Bronte, or West Oak Trails.
A broker can line up the down payment, the payment you can carry, and the condition dates before you write. MKG shops more than one lender and matches the file to the property, whether that is a condo, a house, or a new build.
Illustrative example. Price: $1,450,000 in Oakville. A 20% down payment is $290,000, leaving $1,160,000 to be mortgaged. Because the price is under the $1.5 million insured cap, the insured minimum is 5% of the first $500,000 plus 10% of the remaining $950,000, which is $120,000, subject to lender and insurer approval.
These are the kinds of home purchase files we structure in Oakville.
Illustrative example
The challenge. The condition date was close, and the documents were still in pieces.
How MKG structured it. We packaged income, the down payment, and the property for the lender in time for that date, and stayed with the lawyer through funding.
Illustrative example
The challenge. They wanted a ceiling before weekend showings, with cash kept aside for closing.
How MKG structured it. We split the savings into down payment and closing costs, then gave them a purchase range they could take to the showings.
Illustrative example
The challenge. The payment worked more comfortably once eligible rent was included.
How MKG structured it. We confirmed the suite with the lender's documents and used the rental income that program accepts.
A pre-approval sets the budget; the lender still reviews the specific property.
Old Oakville and Downtown Oakville are older streets, sometimes with renovations a lender wants described. Bronte adds condos and houses near the lake. Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Joshua Creek, and West Oak Trails are the family-home searches. The lender still decides.
