Yup, but is it a good deal?

I suppose that depends on who you ask. For those receiving the loans I'd say yes. For the rest of the BC taxpayers, I am less certain.

YES, you'd be foolish not to take it, even if you do not need it.  Free money for 5 years.

What happens at the 5 year mark? What's the interest rate?

"The prevailing rate".   But you can re-pay the entire amount any time, so you could take it for 5 years, no repayment and no interest, then pay it all back at 4 years and 364 days.

 

At the 5-year make, principle and interest payments are required over 20 years.  It's a 2nd mortgage.

 

Yes, I'm sure it's an election promise.

Seems like a pretty straight-forward pre-election vote buying scheme to me.


Got it. Young people lean left but free money may bring them back.

Well until the market catches up the first few buyers will get free money and it will make their houses a bit more affordable.

Yes, that's true.  But should only take a few months.

I hope that anyone that gets the "free" money has to qualify for the entire amount of their mortgage including the "free" money or we are going to see a bunch of foreclosures in 5 years. But, of course, the next election will have already been won by then.

A foreclosure is not the end of the world.

Unless, of course, it is you being foreclosed on and you lose any equity you had in the place.

Well, you actually get to keep the equity, after fees.  Foreclosures most often only happen on high LTV situations where there is not much equity.  Otherwise, there is always some private money that will come bail you out.

No, if you are foreclosed on you get nothing. If you sold the house prior to being foreclosed on then what you say is correct.

That's not completely correct.  But if you have significant equity, you can easily get private money during the redemption period.  It will not get to full foreclosure and before a judge on sale.

You can easily get private money when you are incapable of paying your mortgage? Doubt it

Private money does not care about your ability to pay, just the equity stake they can take.

 

A bad credit loan from Alpine Credits only requires you to be a homeowner. Even if you have bruised credit, poor credit, bad credit or are just self-employed. If you own a home, we can help.

The bank has precedent given they are the first mortgage. Generally people don't get into foreclosure if they can still borrow money

My initial reply that started this bit was to this comment.

 

Generally, people do not go into foreclosure if they have significant equity.  It's not an issue.
