Finally.. Our new Condo in Kitchener 😍

[@momgrammer5265]

Congratulations!! Hope you have gotten confirmation from the seller that the tenant will move out after the sale. Just a tip for anyone watching. with condos, you should still have a financing condition, even if you are pre approved. Because with 5% down , along with bank CMHC also need to approve the mortgage. There are buildings (like 36 lisgar st in dt TO) which CMHC simply won't insure . So unless you know for sure, others were able to get insured mortgage for that building or you have more than 20%, always have a financing condition for Condos.

[@Potatotalkies]

Great tip. Thank you! Yes, the tenant is moving out on June 1. Thanks for the useful comment. Pinning it :)

[@aseembhartiya8289]

Great point. One other common condition is selling of existing home to honour the new purchase.

[@chandrakapoor7807]

*DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS .... 🥵😳*

[@gayatriparameswaran9764]

What is financing condition ?

[@gunjankhemka8231]

Welcome to the building guys !! We have been following you on KZbin since we moved to Canada and are happy to see you both around . We are on the 11th floor .

[@Potatotalkies]

[@hckynrscnd8916]

So awesome to see a video from Canada. Was weird seeing the view from your front window as I recognized the buildings across the street. Congrats buying your condo!

[@Potatotalkies]

Thanks 🙏

[@presleyp84]

You guys have gathered so much of knowledge in such a short time. The videos says it all. It's like I'm watching someone who has been living in Canada for more than 8-10 years. Way to go 🥰

Congrats guys on the Condo !! In no time you guys are all settled in Canada. A great success story !! One suggestion though :the lumber prices are all time high. I would suggest to wait on any major renovations that involves wood.

[@toddygallent7258]

You are correct on process of buying a condo but unfortunately everyone forgets one of the most important issues. The need to check out thoroughly of the Property Management Company and the Property Manager of your condo. This is very important issue when difficulties arise and they will. The Kitchener/Waterloo has some good/bad Property Management Companies. Its very important to check out the Property Management Company and Property Manager who manages your condo before final purchase.

[@Potatotalkies]

[@karansukhija415]

Is there a status certificate for the pre construction projects as well that we have to look for?

[@alpa_darshit_patel]

What a view from balcony.. Liked the most.. Congratulations🎉

[@shivanimodi9006]

so few questions- 1. how were you able to get pre-construction with 10% down? Isn't it required to have 20% down for pre-con? 2. how were you able to get condo with only 5% as it is not your primary residence? 3. shouldn't it be $130K (20% of $640k pre-con) + $84k (20% of $420k condo as its second property) + closing? I was amazed when you said both houses down costed you $90k. 4. how did you qualify to get 2 mortgages which is almost over $950k in 1 year of credit history? please share your knowledge with us so everyone can benefit from it.

[@Potatotalkies]

1. Not necessarily. Depends on the conditions of the builder. 2. It is our primary residence. We will be staying in it till we close the precon in 2023. It is also our first house, as pre con is not in mortgage / insurance yet. 3. Pre con won’t get into mortgage till possession in 2023, so we only had to get approved for $420k house now which is well within range.

How home inspection works in house ? Is it after approval of ur bid accepted ? One full video on all conditional bidding / and home inspection / lawyer and all

[@Potatotalkies]

Will try to make one closer to the closing on the house... You get about 7 days after the offer is accepted to do inspection / or any other condition... if you are not satisfied.. you can tak the conditional offer back
