    Buying with 5% Down: What You Gain (and What You Give Up)

    ByStan S.

    You’ve got two choices: Save for years to hit 20% down. Buy with 5% down and get in the market now. Both come with baggage. One delays your wealth. The other costs more to build it. If you’re staring down today’s home prices thinking “I’ll never save enough”—you’re not alone. But before you jump into a 5% down mortgage, understand this: Getting in early isn’t free. It just feels like it. Let’s break down exactly how low-down payment mortgages work, where they help, and where they bite you. ⚙️ The Mechanics: How 5% Down Works in Canada Here’s what CMHC and the other insurers allow: Under $500,000? Minimum 5% down. $500K to $999K? 5% on the first $500K + 10% on the rest. Up to $1.5 million? As of December 15, 2024, you can now qualify for an insured mortgage—with the same down payment structure: 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the portion between $500K and $1.5 million. This new $1.5M cap opens the door for more buyers in high-cost markets to enter the game with a smaller upfront investment. And if you put down less than 20%, you’re taking on default insurance—a premium tacked onto your mortgage. That cost? Between 2.8% and 4% of the loan, depending on your down payment. And yes, it’s usually rolled in, which means you pay interest on the insurance too. ✅ What You Gain by Putting Down Less 1. Faster Market Access Waiting to save 20% while home prices climb is like trying to fill a leaky bucket. A 5% down payment gets you in the game now, not 3 years from now when prices are higher and you’re still behind. 2. Insured Mortgage = Lower Rates Lenders love insured mortgages. The risk’s off their books. That means they’ll often give you better interest rates than someone with 20% down and no insurance. 3. Optionality Buying with 5% down doesn’t lock up your liquidity. You keep cash in the bank. And if life happens—job change, relationship shift, whatever—you’re not deep underwater. ❌ What You Sacrifice (and It’s Not Small) 1. Higher Monthly Payments You’re borrowing more. And adding insurance to your loan. That’s a double whammy. The monthly hit is higher—no way around it. 2. More Interest Over Time Bigger mortgage = more interest. Even if your rate is sharper, the total interest paid is higher because your loan balance is bloated. 3. Slower Equity Buildup In the first few years, you’re barely touching principal. Most of your payment feeds the bank. Add that to the higher balance and you’re building wealth at a crawl. 4. Less Refinance Flexibility Insured mortgages restrict your options. Want to pull equity out later? Refinance with a different lender? Good luck. Your flexibility is capped unless you re-qualify and re-insure (if even allowed). 📈 The Power of Leverage: Turning 5% into 20% With 5% down, you’re getting 20x leverage on your money. That means for every 1% the property value increases, you get a 20% return on your initial investment. Let’s break it down: Purchase Price: $300,000 Down Payment (5%): $15,000 If the property value rises 1% to $303,000, that’s a $3,000 gain. Return on your $15,000 down payment? 20% ($3,000 ÷ $15,000) This is one of the reasons homeownership often outpaces renting in the long run. Even modest price increases can significantly boost your equity when you’re highly leveraged. Think about it: If you had to save 100% of the cash to buy the property, do you realistically believe you would ever be able to own a home? Depending on market conditions, the longer you wait, the more ground you could lose. Most people think mortgage default insurance only protects the lender. But it can also protect you. Some insurers offer support programs to help homeowners through temporary financial troubles—like a job loss, illness, divorce, or natural disaster. These programs typically work by: Offering payment deferrals during a tough period Extending amortization periods to lower payments Setting up shared payment plans (where the insurer covers part of the mortgage payment) Adding missed payments to the loan balance (capitalizing arrears) Restructuring mortgage terms to fit a new financial reality For example, Sagen’s Homeowner Assistance Program (HOAP) has helped over 63,000 Canadian families avoid losing their homes, with a success rate of over 90% . Knowing that your default insurance can act as a safety net if unexpected hardships arise can provide extra peace of mind. 🎯 The Real Question Do you want in now—knowing the trade-offs—or do you want to wait, save more, and potentially miss out? There’s no right answer. If your income is stable, you’re staying put for 5+ years, and you’ve stress-tested your budget? 5% down might be a smart move. But if you’re stretching, or banking on appreciation to bail you out? Be careful. A hot market can cool. And higher payments don’t feel so hot when rates jump or life gets messy. Final Take Buying with 5% down is like using a credit card to grab a seat at the wealth table. You’ll pay for it—but you’ll own something. It’s not free. It’s not cheap. But it might be smarter than waiting—depending on your market, your goals, and your risk tolerance. So don’t ask, “Can I buy with 5%?” Ask: “What will it cost me if I don’t?” Then run the numbers. Talk to a real mortgage strategist. And make

    The BRRRR Trap — 7 Costly Mistakes New Investors Make and How to Avoid Them

    ByStan S.

    The BRRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat—is one of the most powerful strategies for building a real estate portfolio without constantly injecting new capital. But it’s not foolproof. For first-time investors, a few wrong moves can derail the entire cycle—leading to missed refinance windows, disappointing returns, or deals that flat-out don’t work. Here are seven…

  • Minimum qualifying rate for uninsured mortgages

    ByStan S.

    Current rate:The greater of the mortgage contract rate plus 2% or 5.25%. The minimum qualifying rate (MQR) for uninsured mortgages is a mortgage stress test applied by lenders to borrowers. OSFI obliges federally-regulated lenders to apply this stress test to their borrowers. This helps lenders prepare borrowers so they can continue to make mortgage payments…

    Two rental housing towers eyed for Kingsway near Fraser Street in Vancouver

    ByStan S.

    Nearly four years ago, a rezoning application was approved to redevelop the southeast corner of the intersection of Kingsway and Carolina Street — situated on the southernmost border of the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood of Vancouver — into a six-storey, mixed-use building with 80 secured purpose-built market rental homes. But the project — which was one of the larger rental housing proposals in Metro Vancouver at the time, prior to the current wave of proposals — did not proceed as planned. As it turns out, this is because the project was being redesigned for a much larger mixed-use rental housing concept under the prescriptions and stipulations of the City’s Broadway Plan. A new rezoning application has been submitted to redevelop 602-644 Kingsway and 603-617 East 16th Ave., which entails a larger development site than the original concept — growing the available footprint by 50 per cent to over 30,000 sq. ft. The project is just west of the prominent intersection of Kingsway and Fraser Street. The original north site entails old low-rise commercial buildings, including a former funeral home building, while the addition of a south site includes a surface vehicle parking lot and low-rise residential and commercial buildings.

(Perkins&Will/Bonnis Properties) 2025 concept of 602-644 Kingsway and 603-617 East 16th Ave., Vancouver. (Perkins&Will/Bonnis Properties) Under the new application, local developer Bonnis Properties has partnered with architectural firm Perkins&Will to pursue a 167-ft-tall, 14-storey north tower and a 276-ft-tall, 25-storey south tower. The proponents are pursuing a new concept with two high-rise towers, after determining that a project with three towers would not meet the minimum tower separation requirements from an adjacent lot on Kingsway. There will be a total of 327 secured purpose-built rental homes, including 120 units in the north tower and 207 units in the south tower. Based on the Broadway Plan’s requirement of setting aside at least 20 per cent of the residential rental floor area for below-market units, there will be 66 below-market rental homes and 261 market rental homes. The unit size mix is established as 152 studios, 47 one-bedroom units, 105 two-bedroom units, and 23 three-bedroom units. 2025 concept of 602-644 Kingsway and 603-617 East 16th Ave., Vancouver.

(Perkins&Will/Bonnis Properties) The north and south towers will be physically connected on the second level by a pedestrian bridge over the laneway that separates the two sites, enabling continuous shared amenity spaces between both buildings. Expansive indoor and outdoor amenity spaces will be found on the second level — including landscaped outdoor areas on the base podium rooftops — along with outdoor amenity spaces on the rooftops of both towers. The rooftop of the north tower’s podium also features a 2,900 sq. ft. childcare facility for up to 20 kids, plus outdoor play space. Down below, about 19,400 sq. ft. of retail/restaurant space spread across the ground levels of both buildings will activate the street frontages and a new public plaza. This triangular-shaped plaza space — a public space element passed down from the original concept — will be achieved by repurposing a 70-ft-long segment of East 15th Avenue and median that parallels Kingsway. 2025 concept of 602-644 Kingsway and 603-617 East 16th Ave., Vancouver.

(Perkins&Will/Bonnis Properties) 2025 concept of 602-644 Kingsway and 603-617 East 16th Ave., Vancouver. (Perkins&Will/Bonnis Properties) The floor plates of both towers rising above the podium are curved to strategically place the structural columns along the perimeter of the floor plates, which serves to optimize the views from the residential units and enable a more efficient unit layout. The exterior design is defined by a 40-60 window-to-wall ratio, with protruding balconies protected by steel picket guard railings. Four underground levels at the north tower site will accommodate 141 vehicle parking stalls, while two underground levels at the south tower site will provide over 600 secured bike parking spaces. Altogether, the project will generate a total floor building floor area of over 257,000 sq. ft., establishing a floor area ratio density of a floor area that is 8.5 times larger than the size of the lot. The site is well served by frequent bus routes along Kingsway, Fraser Street, and Main Street, and about a 15-minute walk from SkyTrain’s future Mount Pleasant Station (intersection of Main Street and East Broadway). Under the Broadway Plan, high-rise tower developments are generally
