The Canadian government allows first time buyers of real estate to withdraw money from their Registered Retirement Savings Plans, tax-free, to help with the down payment. The withdrawal amount was recently increased from $25K to $35K per person. We explain briefly how the system works, including the requirement to pay back the funds over a 15 year time frame. 

We review something new from the Canadian government pertaining to real estate and home ownership - the "First Time Buyers Incentive". Due to take effect in September 2019, this proposes an interest free loan for first time real estate buyers, of up to 5% on an existing property, and of up to 10% on new build construction, which would only be repayable when the property is sold. Certain restrictions apply. 

We talk with Marie Beckles, independent associate with LegalShield, and discuss some of the innovative features and benefits of this monthly legal plan. Marie can be reached at 416-576-3289 or at mbeckles@legalshieldassociate.com
