Hi All,A couple questions on financing an apartment building (say 10-plex):
- Is it true you can get a mortgage for an apartment building without any employment income as long as the bank likes the building (as the focus is on the building, not you, when commercial/meaning 6 units or more) AND you have the down payment amount required?
same question regarding having it CMHC insured: can it be CMHC insured without having an employment income as long as the bank likes the building (as the focus is on the building when commercial/meaning 6 units or more) AND you have the down payment amount required? we keep hearing how the focus shifts from you to the building when buying apartment buildings so I had to ask this question.
In other words, is it really easier to buy a million Dollar 10-plex than a million Dollar duplex for a person without employment income that has say $200,000 in the bank!?
- Are variable rates still offered for apartment building (say 10-plex) or only fixed? does the answer depend on whether it is CMHC insured or not?
THANKS.
