My down payment is less than 20% of the value of the house I want to buy. What should I do?
If your down payment is between 5% and 20% of the purchase price, the Bank must take out mortgage loan insurance with a recognized organization such as SagenTM (formerly known as Genworth) or the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). A mortgage loan insurance premium will then be added to your payments.
