Making the Decision to Buy a Home
You've just written your May rent cheque and handed it over to your landlord. The same landlord who has promised to fix that toilet that keeps running and is responsible for the high water charges you get in the mail from the City of Ottawa. You wonder, how can it get better? You wonder, can I make all this money count for me? You realize, I could spend the same amount of money and own this property. You now imagine yourself sitting on your couch, the bills have been paid, including this month's mortgage, the kids are playing and you are in control of things. What a change. Doesn't this feel better? Isn't it a liberating feeling? You realize, you have made the right decision. But this decision comes with a massive increase in responsibility. What are they? What should you expect? I will walk you through the most pressing things you can expect from this great change in your life.
