Calgary First Time Home Buyer Scenarios

Analyzing a home for first time home buyers

We sat down with our beloved mortgage partner Renee Huse and picked her professional opinion about this listing and how first time home buyers could benefit from a property like this. Here's what she had to say! 

First time home purchasers, there isn't a better setup for renting rooms than 75 Mahogany Row SE - This home has two master bedrooms both with their own ensuites, with the possibility of both renting for $1,000/month.

Located in the heart of the booming SE Calgary, this home is just seconds away from Mahogany Lake, picking up this home and renting out the other suite allows you to live for $1,000 per month! YES!

Here's the scenarios she laid out:

Scenario 1: You are an investor and you're looking to put down 20% to buy this as an investment property, minimum of $91,000 down, with a minimum payment (assuming a variable rate with 30 year amortization) - $1511.69 with rents of $2,000 per month this ensures you can cover the mortgage, property taxes and insurance, while giving you a small amount of room for extra money in your pocket every month.

Scenario 2: You and your partner are looking to get into this lovely home but you aren't quite ready to take on a $2,000 mortgage payment, you find a friend/family member or renter and you're living at half the cost, essentially the same renting while building equity.

Scenario 3: You buy this home through the Real Estate Partners, love it, enjoy the lake and everything Mahogany has to offer year round, build equity, and consider your investment options in the future.
