SAVING FOR TODAY:
BE YOUR OWN LANDLORD

If your dream of owning your own home is just that—a dream—start taking steps to turn that dream into reality. You may think renting is your most affordable option right now, but in truth, homeownership expenses may be less than you thought. And in some cases, owning may cost you less than renting!

So you want to be a homeowner
Buying your first home is not just an important event. It’s quite possibly the largest financial commitment you and your family will ever make. This is one of the reasons buying and owning your first home is both exciting and overwhelming. Plan now for homeownership and you’ll save money today and in the future.

Your first goal for achieving homeownership is to save money for a down payment, which is the amount of money you can pay towards the purchase price of your home. The more money you save, the less your mortgage will be. Keep your assets liquid: Shy away from high-risk and locked-in investments.

Whether you’re deciding to rent or own, choosing what mortgage payments are most affordable, or working out which loan or mortgage best suits your needs, ATB Financial can help. We know these decisions are difficult and time-consuming to research, so we offer interactive loan and mortgage calculators online.
