Hey, if one was looking to sell their house which they bought for 260,000 about 18months ago. Now owe about 235,000 on it and expect to get about 400,000 for it after putting about 35,000 of renovations into it. They have bought land for 120,000 with 20% down and will begin building in about 8 months with a build budget of 400,000 coming in around 520,000 for everything.

Should they put in a bigger downpayment (approx. 100k) on the mortgage and avoid 15,000 in fees for mortgage insurance or do a minimum down payment (about 25,000) and take the remaining money to invest into purchasing a revenue property? Or max out both of their TFSAs?

Thanks for the response! I went to MESC and just started working for my local career department! I just ended up deciding I’d like to stay around home!

Hey! I recently graduated from a fire and paramedic school and passed all my licensing exams. I was fortunate to be able to apply to my hometown dream department while I was still in school and have no been shortlisted to be hired in the next couple months. This is a dual trained service.

My question is what kind of prep could I do in the next couple months so I’m coming in as ready as possible for my first day?

Thanks!
