Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

Hi @Robert Spiegel, My answer to this would truly be based on your Lease Agreement. 1.

I find that regardless of the bank you go to, they often follow the same type of rules and can be stricter; however, some might favour you here or there based on the relationship you would have created with them.- My advice; however, is to work with a good mortgage broker as they often have access to more lenders (B or C lenders) that might be more flexible than the 5 big banks.- Finally where to buy: in general, ON, BC are expensive while AB, QC follows and other provinces, such NB, NS, PEI are much much more affordable.
