Hi Jer, you can purchase a income property with less than 25% down. CMHC will insure the mortgage and you could go to 85% LTV and put down 15%. Then you could get the vendor to hold 10% and your down payment is 5%. The problem is CMHC has thier own appraisal and it is hard for them(CMHC) to appraise at market value. The oppurtunities are out there. you are interested in r/e and it is a very good way to invest money. You will need to network a bit, let people know you interested in investment real estate. what area are you located in and does this area have the commercial investor magazine.
